My
Story
Professional + Lived Experience
I’ve spent nearly two decades working across strategy, policy, and global health — with over a decade focused on global mental health. My career has taken me from the World Economic Forum, to Orygen, to WHO, and to a network of partners across the world. This journey led me to create Brain Health Collective, where I bring together lived experience, professional expertise, and global networks to help organizations shape more inclusive and impactful approaches to mental health.
​
Alongside my professional journey, I bring more than 25 years of my personal journey living through, recovering from, and making sense of several episodes of severe mental ill-health. The labels have been plentiful but do not fully capture this journey. I have written and spoken about my story to change not only hearts and minds, but also policies and programs. I’ve trained others to do the same, and I use my platforms to elevate underrepresented voices.
​
This combination of perspectives shapes what I do: making the connections that matter in brain and mental health.
