Experience

• 

  Australian Broadcasting Corporation

  Mar 2010 - Feb 2014

  Journalist and Presenter

  I worked across various ABC news programmes as a reporter and presenter, and for four years, I was the daily host of two live, nationally broadcast news shows, ‘BtN Extra’ and ‘News on 3’, which introduced youth audiences with no assumed knowledge, to complex international news content and subjects.

  Lou & Sons

  Dec 2021 - now

  Managing Director

  At Lou and Sons, our objective is to always be a reliable, trusted resource for our global network of institutional investors from family offices, endowments, foundations, pension and sovereign wealth funds. Occasionally, and where appropriate, we introduce investors to GP fund managers.

  Lw3

  Mar 2023 - now

  EMEA-APAC Director

  Unlike the majority of investor conferences, Lw3 events are created with and for the international institutional investor community. Lw3 strives to be an invaluable industry resource, assisting with education across all asset classes, facilitating introductions, and creating organic, relaxed networking opportunities around the world. My personal interest in encouraging gender equality in the financial services industry, means I have also taken on responsibility for improving the ratio of female attendees, and creating opportunites for female panellists at Lw3 events.
