My Story

I’ve spent nearly two decades working across strategy, policy, and global health — with over a decade focused on global mental health. My career has taken me from the World Economic Forum, to Orygen, WHO, and a network of partners across the world. This breadth led me to found Brain Health Collective.

​

Alongside my professional journey, I bring more than 25 years of my personal journey living through, recovering from, and making sense of several episodes of severe mental ill-health. The labels have been plentiful but do not fully capture this journey. I have written and spoken about my story to change not only hearts and minds, but also policies and programs. I’ve trained others to do the same, and I use my platforms to elevate underrepresented voices. 

​

This combination of perspectives shapes what I do: helping organizations build strategies and spaces that are both impactful and inclusive.
