About Me

“My career path has been anything but linear. I drew a squiggly line marked by diverse roles: partnerships, sales, operations, fundraising and assurance for environmental and social risk. Each twist, both planned and unexpected, has added depth to my journey, preparing me for the challenges of sports governance. While my KPIs tell one story, the truth is I’m still a work in progress. I am a lifelong learner who is continually evolving. Here’s the part where I’m supposed to trumpet my achievements, but I firmly believe that success is rarely a solo act. My journey has been shaped by the opportunities afforded to me, including those rooted in social privilege, and I don’t shy away from acknowledging that. People often call me curious, resilient, and authentic, and I try to live up to those words. But let me be clear: if vulnerability or collaboration feel like weaknesses to you, we may not be a match. I’m driven by a passion for making things better. Whether it’s the big challenges (like creating equitable systems in society) or the small joys (such as finding the best coffee in town), I approach everything with curiosity and commitment. If you believe in the power of sport to create positive change, I’d love to connect. Let’s grab a coffee and explore how we can elevate women’s voices in governance and get some meaningful work done together.”
