Senior Communications
Advisor

I support nonprofits, public institutions, government agencies and development programs to strengthen communication and engagement with the people and communities you serve.

My work focuses on communications planning and strategy, systems design, skills development and practical support, and the structured delivery of complex communication projects and outputs.

I help organisations to:

  • Design clear frameworks for internal and external communication

  • Engage confidently with media and stakeholders in ways that are ethical, culturally appropriate, and sustainable.

I bring experience across governments, health sectors, emergency and crisis communication, international development. Plus across multicultural and linguistically diverse and faith-based communities in Australia, New Zealand and Indo-Pacific region.

My approach is structured, collaborative and grounded in policy environments. I am experienced in high risk work environments, with significant experience in the health sector, education, emergency response, multimedia digital, TV, radio and print, and environment.

I am available for short-term consultancy and advisory engagements in Australia, Indo-Pacific and internationally.

What I Do

I work alongside leadership teams, communications unit, and technical staff to bring clarity and structure to complex communication environments.

My work typically includes:

  • Communications planning and strategy aligned to organisational and policy objectives

  • Development of communication systems, procedures and practical tools

  • Media and stakeholder engagement support, including readiness and response

  • Identifying, assessing and managing issues and reputational/communication risks

  • Structured training, mentoring and practical support for communication practice.

I focus on work that strengthens organisations over time, rather than creating dependency.

How I Work

I take a practical, collaborative and holistic approach to communications work.
