I am currently honorary solicitor of my local beach club and a member of its risk and COVID-19 committees. I really enjoy solving complex problems and explaining solutions and risks simply.

I am inclusive and collaborative team leader, chair, mentor and team member, with strong interpersonal skills and constructive communication style. I am very experienced in presenting to boards and senior executives and participating in board discussions and decision making.
