My professional journey has been dedicated to consulting and contracting on transformative projects across various corporate organisations and governmental departments.
The first phase of my career focused on Learning & Development roles within the Information Technology and Financial Services industries in Sydney, Australia and Bangalore, India.
The second phase involved a broad range of Change Management roles in Financial Services and the NSW Government.
In the third phase, following a move to Canberra, I transitioned into Business Analyst roles with various Federal Government departments.

Currently, I am contracting as a Business Analyst with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions in their Digital Transformation Office, working on a range of ICT systems used by Federal Prosecutors.
