Crises don’t just unfold in the papers anymore.

Crises don’t just unfold in the papers anymore.

They erupt in inboxes, WhatsApp chats and on social feeds, pulling in bystanders and travelling quicker than you can refresh a tab.

When that happens, the stakes shift.
Every decision matters.
And you don’t get many second chances.

Whether you need a proactive plan, a partner to steady you through the storm or a one-off gut check, I get you ready to respond fast with clarity and confidence.

When we work together, you get more than advice.

When we work together, you get more than advice.

You get someone in your corner who carries the weight with you.

I’ve spent more than a decade working at the messy overlap of legal risk, internal politics and public scrutiny: product recalls, viral public backlash, data breaches and complex litigation.

My job is to help you focus on the real problem, not the communications one. To help you make decisions that hold up under pressure and avoid any unintended consequences.

With me beside you, you’ll show up as a capable, confident leader — no matter how loud the noise or how many competing priorities you’re juggling.

Helping a leading private school get media-ready in 24 hours

When historical abuse claims emerged at a top-tier Australian private school, I was part of the response team providing fast, strategic comms support.

Working closely with legal and leadership, we developed an issues management plan that included media holding lines and FAQs, internal updates, assembly speeches, parent and alumni emails and journalist protocols. The school was able to respond swiftly, meet regulatory obligations and maintain trust with stakeholders while protecting both enrolments and victim-survivors.
