What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with organizations that want to move beyond strategy, embedding AI-powered products, automation, and sustainable operational change through cross-functional delivery.

I lead strategy-to-adoption work at Independence Australia, partnering across teams to turn AI-powered products, data, automation, and intelligent agents into operational advantage.

Since joining Independence Australia as a Business Analyst in 2019 and moving into Project Management in 2021, I’ve focused on PMO development, robotic process automation, product management, strategic thinking, and delivery that sustains change through people.

With 10+ years across healthcare, retail, FMCG, and technology, plus MBA and Business Analytics master’s degrees, I clarify complexity, build cross-functional alignment, and help organizations move beyond strategy to impact.

An agentic mental-wellbeing platform built on a 5-node LangGraph pipeline where a safety_router screens every check-in first and routes anyone in crisis to human support.
