I joined Interchange in January 2015 and became Chair in 2021. Whilst my initial career was in banking and finance, over the past 10 years, I've moved into senior leadership roles in the NFP sector, and enjoy the various aspects of the governance of charities and supporting people in need across our communities. 

My most recent role was heading up an employer advocacy body for 175 Community Services sector NFPs in WA. I'm a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors with a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney. Outside of work and Interchange, my main interests centre around family, golf and travel, some of which I try to combine when the opportunity presents.

I’m proud, and somewhat humbled, to be part of the Interchange board where I am the Deputy Chair and also the Chair of Governance. My forty+ year career has taken me to two states, four public sector organisations and numerous not-for-profits – all the while dragging my long-suffering partner and growing family along for the journey. Diversity pervades our family – my partner and I have three children with varying needs and abilities that require support. This has led me to involve myself in shaping the future of the disability sector for the better, thus I am a board director for Developmental Disability WA and an inaugural member of D-dads. My education includes a Bachelor of Arts, a Graduate Diploma and a Masters in Business Administration. I’m also a Graduate of the Institute of Company Directors.

I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to Interchange. I am a Physiotherapist by background and worked in the hospital, private practice and homecare settings before transitioning into non-clinical roles. In 2015, I relocated to the Netherlands to complete postgraduate studies in Health Policy. This was an amazing opportunity to learn about the systems that underpin the delivery of health care and sparked my interest in driving change at a broader level.

I bring experience in clinical governance, project management and risk through my various roles across the WA health system and I have a strong interest in person centred care. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy), Diploma of Leadership and Management and a Master of Health Science. I look forward to learning from the staff, volunteers and customers that are Interchange and striving for continuous improvement in the way we care.
