Bio
Emma McCarthy
I had the privilege of being managed by Jen while at the Australian Red Cross where her passion, dedication and strategic vision were clear to see. She always has what is best for both the team and organisation in mind while being client-centred and goal-oriented. Her knowledge, experience and work ethic makes her an asset for any agency and I hope I will have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Jen directly managed me while I was with the Migration Support Programs at Australian Red Cross. She was an incredibly supportive manager, clear in the program's objectives and shifting priorities while being all-encompassing when setting program-wide goals. She managed the team during a period of considerable change, providing excellent leadership, always acting with integrity and calm as well as being open to creative ways of resolving any issue. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Jen who knew how to get the best out of the team whilst creating a plural and open environment in which to work. She was an unrelenting advocate for our clients and was a real inspiration in her approach. I would absolutely jump at the chance of working with Jen again and know she would be an asset to any organization she joins.
