About me and how I help you
Who am I?
I am someone seeking to live a balanced life – heart, mind, body, soul and emotions, so that I can be blessed and in turn bless others. I aim to offer a holistic service where there are only win-win solutions.
I have a strong background in economic and community development. In a business this is usually via implementing new systems, training and consulting. Marketing and public relations is vital in any business and even in selling your vision for your funding application. I have diverse business and funding experience locally, statewide, nationally and internationally.
I am a qualified teacher and trainer – most often in the areas of English, English as a Foreign Language, Indonesian, and Careers. I have taught from four year olds – adults, in all systems (primary – high school, private and public and English language colleges and a variety of workplace situations) in three countries – Australia, Indonesia and East Timor.
What services can I offer?
One of my specialties is any form of communication. I have broad and high level experience in both writing, editing and reviewing funding applications, reports, speeches, essays, marketing, copywriting, resumes and statements addressing selection criteria.
Much of my funding experience has been at local, state and federal levels of government in Australia, plus subcontracting for a variety of agencies including UN agencies while in East Timor.
If you have a need but no-one else sees it – I can definitely help you to clarify your vision and then sell it to the stakeholders.
