Career Story
I am an experienced client services and agency leader, currently on long service leave after leaving my role at HERO Melbourne after 8 years. I love all things creative. I have experience across a wide variety of sectors, as well as having department leadership. I have led some amazing campaigns, been part of some great pitch wins, and have won a few awards along the way! Before HERO I worked in London at some of the UK's most effective and well recognised agencies including FCB London, Karmarama (Accenture Song) and JWT.
