I bring strategic insight, innovative solutions, and a keen understanding of the legal landscape, safeguarding businesses from risks and maximising operational efficiency. I assist organisations to transform and confidently tackle regulatory challenges and seize opportunities in an evolving regulatory landscape.

I am a Director in MinterEllison's Risk and Regulatory Consulting team. I am a lawyer and an accomplished risk and compliance leader with over 13 years of experience gained working for large Financial Services institutions.

I help clients implement best practice risk and compliance management frameworks, driving a strong focus on Governance and accountability, including monitoring and supervision activities. I have extensive experience developing and implementing regulatory change models for organisations and compliance obligation management, including designing and maintaining an appropriate framework, building and operationalising obligation registers, and mapping accountability to ensure business-specific, fit-for-purpose frameworks are integrated per regulatory requirements.

My unique skill set and innovative approach to advisory services enable me to work closely with organisations to transform and uplift their in-house capabilities, including automating risk and compliance processes to align with the latest advancements in technology and systems. My expertise and pragmatic approach position me to design and implement GRC solutions tailored to meet specific business needs.

Prior to joining MinterEllison, I was the Compliance Lead at Aware Super, Senior Manager of Risk and Compliance at BT Financial Group and the Compliance Manager at AMP Horizons Financial Group.
