I'm a marketing strategist with 10+ years of experience across regulated health, medicinal cannabis, nutraceuticals and functional wellness brands. I specialise in campaign strategy, brand positioning and education-driven digital execution, with a track record of delivering TGA-compliant messaging and education programs. I excel at translating complex scientific concepts into clear, credible messaging for clinicians and health-literate consumers. I've built and led education programs, launched products and campaigns, and collaborated with clinicians, researchers and educators to translate science into impact. I also produce and host educational content, podcasts and social campaigns that bridge science, clinical insight and consumer education.
