About me
I am a driven, bold and nuanced Program and Project Manager with 13 years experience in Leadership, Management, Production, Project Delivery, Financial Management and Evaluation. I currently work in Tech and have many years experience working in the creative and events industries, across sectors. I have led teams of up to 30 people, managed budgets of $10M+, supported communities of up to 250,000 end users and have international experience working in partnership with multiple worldwide colleagues, partners and stakeholders.
In my spare time I run my record label, Gravy, with my friends, I play in my pop band and I take photographs.
