I am totally floored to be selected as a finalist for the 2019 AusMumpreneur Awards in the Big Idea (Changing The World) category for my work as an author, using the spoken and written word to drive change around social issues such as bullying.

Thank you to everyone who got behind me - The 2019 AusMumpreneur Awards winners will be announced at a glamorous Awards dinner in Melbourne in September. Find out more about the awards at

padlock - a poetry short movie raising awareness about domestic violence

7/26/2019

Experimental and kinetic poetry is a great way to put a new spin on creativity. This movie was totally out of my comfort zone, but it was filmed for a good cause - to raise awareness around domestic violence. Statistics in Australia, reported by White Ribbon:
  • On average, one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner.​
  • 1 in 4 women have experienced emotional abuse by a current or former partner since the age of 15.
  • 1 in 5 women have experienced sexual violence since the age of 15.
  • 85% of Australian women have been sexually harassed.
  • Almost 40% of women continued to experience violence from their partner while temporarily separated.
Violence against women is a complex issue. To find out more or to seek help, visit the White Ribbon website: https://www.whiteribbon.org.au.

bankstown poetry slam

At Bankstown Poetry Slam in Bankstown, West Sydney - the largest poetry slam in Australia. Enriching to see such diverse and passionate poets rock the house. Feature poet was Luka Lesson who was literally amazing. I was last up in the slam and I have to say, it was a total privilege to take to the mic at an iconic event like this, performing a poem called 'Bleach' about high school bullying.

Every week brings something different in the job I do at Adecco. From leadership and team building, to strategy and planning, to client and candidate meetings, there is never a dull moment. On Tuesday, I had the privilege of hosting a stand at the career day held at my children’s high school. I talked about my day job as Managing Director at Adecco Australia and creating space in life to accommodate my out of hours passion for writing as a bestselling author. The enthusiasm of the students and the excellent questions they asked gave such a refreshing perspective on the work we do at Adecco in matching the right person to the right career every day. The Adecco Group is the world’s leading HR solutions partner. We provide over 700,000 people with permanent and flexible employment every day. It was a lovely afternoon spent feeling inspired by youths who want to make a difference in the world. If I inspired even one student to chase their dreams then it is a perfect week.
