My passion and focus is on growing HR talent – whether it be here in Mackay, Queensland or elsewhere. It is also about promoting HR leaders and leadership.

Having left Ireland 8 years ago, I have benefited greatly from the support of the fantastic Qld HR Community. Nominating for State Council presents a unique opportunity to repay this support.
