I am a Chartered Accountant and Company Secretary with over 25 years’ experience supporting Boards and Executive Leadership Teams across ASX-listed, multinational and private organisations. I currently serve as Company Secretary at Programmed Maintenance Services, now wholly owned by Japan’s PERSOL Holdings. In this role, I focus on governance, regulatory compliance and strengthening board decision-making through effective frameworks and high-quality reporting. I have also held senior company secretarial roles with ASX-listed companies, including Macmahon Holdings Limited and Austin Engineering Limited. Additionally, I worked in public practice, providing corporate governance and company secretarial advice across multiple industries.

I have extensive lived experience with neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, informed by personal reflection and my family and community connections. Over the years, I have supported many neurodivergent people, gaining a deep understanding of the diverse ways individuals experience the world. This perspective has shaped my approach to advocacy, emphasising listening, respect and creating environments where people are valued for who they are. I am also a Director of the ADHD Foundation Australia Limited, contributing at a national level to advocacy and initiatives that support neurodivergent individuals and their families. My experiences guide how I contribute to programs, policies and supports that make meaningful, positive impacts.

I am proud to join Scope’s Neurodivergent Advisory Board because I am inspired by the fact that Scope is leading the way in creating environments, services and supports that genuinely empower neurodivergent people. Scope’s culture, philosophy and approach align closely with my own values — both professionally and personally — around respect, inclusion and collaboration. There is nothing more valuable than having those who deeply understand neurodivergent experiences contributing directly to shaping programs, policies and resources. I am excited to support Scope as it continues to set the standard for neuroaffirming, practical and impactful approaches.

I hope to help create spaces where people are educated, notice, understand and value neurodiversity — where awareness and compassion guide how we act and support one another. Neurodivergent people deserve to thrive in environments that are made for them, not asked to fit into ones that aren’t. I would love to see care, services and everyday environments shaped by neurodivergent perspectives. This would allow people to feel seen, heard and free to be themselves. My vision is for a society that doesn’t just accommodate difference but celebrates it.
