What traits do you admire in a leader?

Clarity, empathy, and staying calm under pressure. I really admire leaders who are inclusive and decisive – the kind who back their team, know when to lean in, and when to step back and let others take the lead.

What are your core values?

Collaboration, impact, and curiosity. I get energy from working closely with others and I’m always looking for ways to improve, learn, and do things just that bit better.

What is your Risepoint moment?

My Risepoint moment was finishing my degree at Monash. I didn’t know it at the time, but that choice to study set everything in motion – it gave me the foundation for a career I love and introduced me to some of the most important friendships in my life, as well as the professional relationships I've built working in this sector. It’s a reminder of the lasting impact that the decision to pursue study can have.
