A lifetime connected to Defence, with a deep understanding of military careers and life beyond service.
My connection to Defence spans my lifetime as a Defence daughter, ex-serving member, Defence spouse of 27 years and now a Defence mum.
I understand the culture, the structure, the expectations and the identity shifts that come with every chapter of service.
understand the uncertainty that can come with considering what is next, whether you're still serving and exploring future options, preparing to discharge, or navigating civilian employment after leaving the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
​
With recruitment experience developed within the APS and the mining industry, I bring a practical, insider-level understanding of what civilian employers look for - and how to position your military expertise in language they immediately understand.
You may be eligible for funded career support.
Members transitioning from the ADF within four months of their discharge date, and veterans, may be eligible for funded career support through a veteran-focused employment initiative I work with.
This support may cover:
​
-
resume development
-
civilianisation
-
job search support
-
interview coaching
-
APS application guidance
Eligibility varies, and I will guide you through the process and next steps.

Already left Defence? Let's turn your experience into your next opportunity.
​
Military experience can be difficult to translate into a civilian context, particularly when you've spent years working within a very different structure, language and culture. The challenge is often not a lack of capability, but recognising how that capability translates and communicating it in a way civilian employers understand..
​
I help veterans:
-
Clarify your professional identity and career direction
-
Recognise and articulate your transferable capability
-
Translate and modernise military experience for civilian employers
-
Identify meaningful career pathways
-
Prepare for APS, state government and private-sector opportunities
-
Develop targeted resumes, applications and selection criteria
-
Prepare confidently for interviews
-
