As a farmer, researcher and storyteller, I bring practical agricultural insight together with industry experience and perspectives gathered from around the world. Through speaking, facilitation and workshops, I ask questions differently - creating space to challenge assumptions, share persepctives and discover what might be missing.

Have you ever been told you couldn't do something, because of who you are? Could the women in the room please stand.
Who makes the key decisions on your farm? And what would change if more women had a seat at the table?
I’d love to hear from you!

Storytelling
Our own stories shape how we understand the world: what we value, what we notice and the questions we think to ask. Sharing them gives us the opportunity to see through someone else's eyes, building understanding and common ground.
Every story is shaped by people and place, and by those who came before.
I extend my respect to the orignal storytellers: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia, who have shared knowledge, culture and connection to Country through storytelling for 65,000 years.
I acknowledge the Wonnarua people, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which I live and work, and extend my respect to all First Nations peoples and their connection to Country, wherever they call home.
