  With four port operations in Victoria, and for the purpose of providing service to those who live and work at sea, connecting into a national and international network I excelled in all of my passions, advocacy, strategic partnerships and leading an incredible team, supported by a dedicated board, to achieve more than I could have imagined, I gave it my best and when I left a took a good rest!

• Business Development Manager

  • Apr 2007 - Aug 2009

  In 2007 I embarked on a journey of advocacy to bring attention to the human rights at sea. Responding to the plight of seafarers working under Flags of Convenience. Together with my Board we created a national campaign and international awareness of mental health at sea. I worked 6 days a week, running the MtSV 9am - 10pm daily, working alongside seafarers from diverse faith and cultures, my pastoral care work was more rewarding than any other achievement during those early years and stories shared of faith, bravery, slavery will be imprinted always in my memory and on my heart. Seafarers are resilient, the sea is a wild and unpredictable place and the longing and loneliness is a commonality shared by all. 90% of world trade relies on those who live and work at sea, and they rely on primarily volunteer services, people who run on-shore facilities to ensure there is a safe place for them during shore leave.
