How I Work…

I take a relationship-first approach, building trust and momentum over time rather than chasing quick wins.

I start by listening and asking curious questions, building alignment as I co-design strategies informed by research and a holistic understanding of the stakeholder ecosystem, including potential partners.

I focus on symbiotic partnerships where everyone benefits meaningfully, creating collective impact that is stronger together.

Who I Want To Work With…

I support female academic leaders leading institutes or centres at research-intensive universities whose ambitious pursuits and breakthrough ideas are often deprioritised for resourcing – partly due to a lack of capacity and to systemic barriers in how research gets funded.

What Makes Me Different…

I bring a creative lens to academic research, drawing on twenty years in the arts and humanities to spot stories, connections and pathways others often miss - making research more fundable and impactful.

I offer an outside perspective grounded in inside knowledge, helping academics uncover new and overlooked angles on their work while deeply understanding research rigour and external partners’ priorities.

I use strategic storytelling to translate complex research into compelling narratives that resonate with partners, funders and the communities the study is designed to benefit and serve.
