Managing Director, LBPR

“I am truly honoured to be a Rare Birds Ambassador, nestled amongst a dynamic, diverse and driven group of female entrepreneurs who are leaders in their respective fields.

I’m in the business of creating authentic human connections, and Rare Birds is a fantastic example of how to foster genuine collaboration between like-minded people, so we can truly be the change we want to see in the world.

It’s also the ultimate breeding ground for young female entrepreneurs, who can’t help but be inspired to think REALLY big.

After all, if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re simply not big enough!”
