Challenging society to remember the outliers and standing up for those still finding their voice is my passion. My daughter Florence, born with hearing loss, reminds me how compassion and good design can empower all members of society. I wear many hats; Brisbane based Principal Architect, in the Hassell studio, a single mother of a strong future female leader, a koala advocate and treasurer of a Not-For-Profit, A mentee, coach, and advocate, women in architecture and construction and champion of inclusive and sustainable cities.
Across the last 15 years I have crafted a respected career in transport infrastructure projects, actively helping to shape the city and facilitating widespread accessibility in Brisbane’s public spaces while simultaneously promoting the representation of young women in design and construction. My contributions to architecture and the community were recognised by the Australian Institute of Architects, Queensland Chapter, through receiving the 2022 Emerging Architect Prize.
