I’m asking for your trust - so I want you to know who I am.
This isn’t just about what I stand for in policy, but how I show up in the world.
Here’s a little more about what I’m involved in, what drives me, and what I love about this city.
Because I believe the best kind of advocacy comes from people who are connected - to their community, to their values, and to something bigger than themselves.
Getting More Women into Tech & Entrepreneurship
I am Adelaide Chapter Lead for the Australian Women in Security Network, an incredible organisation working to get more women into security and technology careers.
I host a monthly lunch for women founders, to encourage more women not just to start businesses, but to stay in them. We need more women building, scaling, and leading. If you’re a women in business, please come along to our next lunch!
Championing Adelaide
I sit on the Advisory Committee for the Adelaide Economic Development Agency. I love this city, and I’ll continue to champion the people, places, and ideas that make it worth investing in.
Social Impact Through Business
My cyber security firm, CYBR, is built with social impact at its core.
We dedicate time and resources to pro-bono work: free cyber training, support for under-resourced communities, and help for people who usually get left out of the digital conversation.
Everyone should feel safe online, and we’re doing our part to make that reality for all South Australians. Learn more about this work here.
Enjoying Adelaide’s Nightlife
Whether it’s a cocktail (or two) with friends in the West End, or dancing deep into the night to the history of house, or people watching with a glass of South Australian wine in the East End.
I love this side of Adelaide. A city that’s alive after dark, that celebrates its culture, and that knows how to bring people together through music and movement.

A City That Makes Space for Culture
There’s something really special about seeing a quiet city space turned into a place people that people want to be. Add some firepits, food, local drinks and music, and suddenly it’s not just a park, it’s the end of your week.
The Wauwi Park Party by duck! radio was a bold, brilliant use of an often-overlooked space. The twilight jazz concert celebrating our UNESCO City of Music status was just as joyful, accessible, meaningful, and the kind of thing that makes this city feel alive.

Changing the Conversation
I launched a podcast to change the way we talk about cyber security. If we want to see the improvement we need, we have to get people involved, and to do that we need to change the way we’re talking about it.
Writing and Advocacy
I’ve written for Women’s Agenda on how we can better support women-led startups - not just with words, but with real infrastructure and funding. I am passionate about using my voice to advocate for the communities that I am so grateful to be a part of. Read the article.
Supporting Our Community
This year I took part in my first Vinnies CEO Sleepout, raising just shy of $2,000 in under a month to support people experiencing homelessness.
It was humbling, motivating, and just the beginning. I’ll be back next year, aiming even higher. Watch my experience.
