My family comes from a generation shaped by policies and social pressures that often silenced cultural expression.

Like many in my age group, I grew up with cultural knowledge carried quietly, through family values, community ways of thinking, deep respect for Elders, and time spent with my grandmother and extended family in Broome.

In adulthood, I have actively reconnected with my cultural story, studying Indigenous leadership, history and business practice through formal education and community relationships. This ongoing learning shapes my work and my approach to responsibility, reciprocity and collective leadership.

With more than 20 years’ experience in digital transformation and the Microsoft Power Platform, I work as a consultant, technical specialist and founder of two ventures: Jindaya, a community-led initiative focused on digital capability and tech pathways for First Nations women; and Old Duck Digital, a consulting and automation practice supporting accessible, culturally grounded technology solutions.

I am currently completing my Graduate Certificate of Indigenous Business Leadership at Melbourne University, deepening my cultural and leadership practice while building pathways for future generations in the digital space.
