I am a non-profit consultant and career mentor specialising in creating maximum impact in the non-profit world. Let’s work together!

What I do

Career Mentoring

In my time as CEO of three national non-profits I’ve reviewed countless CVs and interviewed thousands of people. I’ve also progressed my own career from academia to business and into the world of non-profit advocacy and leadership. I’d love to work with you to achieve your career goals and land your dream job in the non-profit world.

Fundraising

I love fundraising strategy – exploring where my expertise can help your organisation have the biggest impact. I love every aspect of fundraising from individual giving, recurring donor programs, crowdfunding, gifts in wills and all things CRM. I am a member of the Fundraising Institute of Australia and a certified Salesforce admin.
