I am an experienced project and change management specialist. I have spent more than 30 years working in a variety of roles predominately in the health sector, leading teams and overseeing projects from conception to completion. The diversity of my CV, which includes work across tertiary, private and public sector organisations both at home and overseas, has encouraged me to be highly adaptable to new working practises as well as ensuring I deliver on time and to budget.
