I joined the Interchange Board in January 2015 and became Deputy Chair. 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 governance of charities and supporting people in need across our communities. 

I currently head up an employer advocacy body for 150 NFPs in WA and am also on the National Council of Caritas Australia, a large international aid and development organisation. I'm a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and have a Bachelor of Economics from the University of Sydney.
