Project Director

✨ co-founder and chief experience officer at uncommon conferences, where we empower you, through uncommon virtual and in-person gatherings, to drive change, joyfully and meaningfully. 

🌏 Born in Singapore of South Indian heritage, I immigrated with my family to Perth, Western Australia as a teenager. Soon after graduating as a journalist, I moved to Shanghai, China where I had the privilege of living and working for 13 years, learning Mandarin along the way. I acknowledge that I now live and work on Whadjuk Noongar land, and pay my respects to elders past and present.

💻 Professionally, I’m a “content and connection” junkie with over 15 years' global experience across the maritime, media, conferencing and publishing industries. What does that mean? I create & curate a wide range of content and experiences that connect people, meaningfully and joyfully. 

👩🏾‍🎓Executive MBA from Columbia University, London Business School & University of Hong Kong

⚡ I'm passionate about the big picture without losing sight of the small, crucial details. My diverse and international background makes me an ideal bridge – between people, organisations and ideas. 

🗺 Current favourite cities are; Helsinki, Munich, NYC, Tel Aviv, London, Milano, Tokyo, Shanghai and of course, Perth (in an order that changes frequently).
