Basic Info

Advisor at the intersection between life sciences, healthcare innovation and sustainable development, specialising in ecosystem development and building national and international research partnerships and collaborations. A track record of securing over $2.4 billion in funding for transformative initiatives from biomedical precincts and hubs such as the Herston Health Precinct, to environmental programs like the $450m Reef Trust Partnership - projects that deliver lasting social, economic and environmental impact.

I'm particularly interested in the design of healthcare and innovation precinct environments such that they are inclusive, accessible and flexible, and anticipate evolving societal and end-user needs. Working with healthcare leaders, placemaking experts, urban planners and arts and cultural programmers and designers, I explore how healthcare and research districts can better integrate with their surroundings to create engaging spaces where science, creativity, and community intersect.

I focus on:

Developing and activating innovation precincts and ecosystems

Building complex multi-stakeholder partnerships

Translating research into real-world impact

Creating governance frameworks for sustainable collaboration

Supporting investment in transformative initiatives

Beyond my commercial work, I serve as Director for Micah Projects Ltd, supporting their mission to secure foundational human rights. My work is guided by a commitment to creating sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant places where innovation thrives and communities benefit.
