About Me

My mental health journey began when I lost my Dad to bowel cancer in 2012. This experience along with losing people I knew suicide, led me to start openly talking about mental health.This photo was taken the night I opened up to my closest mates and started a mental health project.I've spent the last 10 years learning and talking about mental health and wellbeing with an emphasis on the importance of communicating and connecting.

Speaking

I have experience presenting, or talking in a range of environments from community groups and corporate businesses through to mine sites across Australia.My talks focus on the importance of human connection and how we can foster this through communication, connection and community.I mix personal stories with lessons learned and practical advice in an energetic and relatable style.
