Bio
Belinda O.
Working with Rosie was a delight. She brings a perfect mix of hard and soft skills, being very strategically minded, organised and process oriented while remaining open minded, warm and supportive. She is highly knowledgeable about not only sexual and reproductive health (SRH) as a social issue but also as a sector and an academic area. She deeply understands the current challenges to be faced and has a clear and strategic vision of where we need to move to, and her role in bringing us there. Further, she brings a sophisticated understanding of the intersections in SRH and prevention of violence against women work, especially around reproductive coercion. This is a crucial and emerging area that I believe she is at the forefront of. She also has a solid grasp of intersectionality and how this thinking can translate to action in these areas. As a team/project member and leader, Rosie was inclusive, curious, and ensured everyone had clarity and structure. She also brings a humour and warmth to what can often be difficult work. I believe Rosie is someone who strives for radical change while remaining professional, personable, and pragmatic. I would consider myself extremely lucky to work with her again in the future.
