Bio

I am an Executive Assistant and Project Officer with the Implementation to Impact (i2i) Team.

I support the Director, Professor Natalie Taylor, and work closely with the Research Operations team across a broad range of administrative, operational and project activities to support the wider team. With more than 16 years' experience in the higher education sector, including the past nine years supporting the Behavioural Sciences Unit within the School of Clinical Medicine at UNSW, I have experience in administration, stakeholder engagement, operations, event coordination and research support. I also have a strong background in the performing arts, which complements the creative, energetic and people-focused approach I bring to my professional work.
