About

I have a background of working in the corporate sphere, however the past 10 years of living with a child with cancer have impacted me greatly, and have led to me to regularly write and speaking about this horrendously challenging journey. Many of the things I've learnt can be applied to any challenge we face in life, not just cancer.

In 2018 I published a book about some of our journey of living with a child with cancer - Victoria Grace - Living with victory through childhood cancer.  It includes the practical strategies, tips and checklists we used to during this period to help our family survive this season.

Corporate / Business Background

For the past 16 years I have worked at Newsletter House in a management capacity, including helping navigate the business through the economic challenges of being a small business hit by the GFC.

Prior to August 2003 the majority of my experience was in project-related roles in the banking sector. Particularly project planning, process improvement and project office roles.
