Bio
Laura Lombardozzi
Professional, approachable and warm, Jo is a natural communicator with a creatively strategic mind. Working with her at Mackay Regional Council, I was always impressed with how calmly she faced challenging situations and how beautifully she negotiated with a range of stakeholders from community members to Councillors. She was integral to the community engagement of the redesign of the Mackay Regional Botanical Gardens where a range of creative engagement methods were used to great success. Jo is a genuinely lovely person with a sharp mind and incredible verbal and written communication skills. She is a delight to work with and would be a valuable contributor to any team.
