Bio

I am the Country Manager for 21CS in Australia. I'm also the Director of Common Services - the teams who support the software development teams. With over 15 years experience working in the mainframe industry, I have worked in QA, developer and management roles.


I'm passionate about empowering others to realise their full potential. I've been actively involved in local programs encouraging high school girls and women into STEM/coding. I created and chair the Perth z/OS Community, aiming to engage, grow and develop the mainframe community in Perth. I'm the local chapter lead for IBM New to Z in Perth.
