I am a non-profit director, strategist, and governance specialist with a background in law.  I am an admitted, practising advocate. My training enables me to navigate and simplify complex systems, bringing clarity to governance, compliance, and organisational change. My core strength is drafting — from policies and contracts to board frameworks and organisational narratives — turning complexity into structures that support accountability and trust.

I build systems that are both rigorous and understandable: aligned to legal and regulatory standards while grounded in everyday practice. I have authored governance handbooks, supported boards on compliance and child protection, and guided organisations through transitions where clarity and integrity were essential.

I bring intellectual rigour, an instinct for structure, and leadership that is collaborative and care-driven. My work is guided by truth rather than perfection, creating organisations that are resilient, transparent, and able to serve with consistency and integrity.

I am also available as a contractor, offering services that range from drafting policies, proposals, and strategic documents to website and WordPress development, governance and change management support, communications, training, and organisational streamlining. My approach is adaptable: whether the task is technical, creative, or structural, I focus on delivering clarity, coherence, and sustainable solutions.

WHAT I DO

Governance & Legal Services

Governance doesn’t have to be a cage. Done well, it’s the scaffolding that lets an organisation grow with integrity.

Narrative & Communication

Every organisation has a story. Some just need help telling it. I work with teams to shape annual reports, grant proposals, policy briefs, and public messaging that capture both the numbers and the meaning behind them

Writing & Creative Work

Alongside governance and strategy, I also offer writing in its fuller sense: essays, editorial, and poetry. For clients who want more than information, who want narrative, tone, and texture, I bring the same eye for structure and rhythm that I use in policy work to the page.
