Election Statement

I am standing for the PMISC Board because I am passionate about building environments where project professionals feel supported, recognised, and inspired to deliver meaningful outcomes. Over the past years, I have actively contributed to the PMI Sydney Chapter through volunteering. These experiences have strengthened my belief that PMI is more than a professional body - it is a community that helps us grow and give back.

In my current role at the University of Technology Sydney, I work at the intersection of education, startups, and technology, designing systems and programs that empower professionals and founders to succeed. I also co-founded KANGARU, a thriving community of 140+ Sydney tech founders and builders, demonstrating how collaboration and networks drive innovation.

If elected, I will focus on amplifying the voice of our members, building partnerships that expand opportunities, and supporting initiatives that make our Chapter more inclusive, innovative, and future-focused. I want to ensure that every PMI Sydney Chapter member experiences the value of belonging - whether through learning, recognition, or stronger peer connections.
