Fuelled by my love for social impact and a deep understanding of my personal Human Design profile, I took a leap of faith and became a Freelance Grant & Tender Writer in 2018. Since then, I’ve secured over $55 million in funding for various projects, including national youth suicide prevention, services for mental health, reducing recidivism, preventing domestic violence, learn and earn programs for refugees and at-risk groups seeking employment, as well as aged care tenders in NSW, QLD and Australia-wide.

When I’m not crafting compelling funding proposals, I enjoy engaging in thought-provoking conversations with purpose-driven people, on tackling big cosmic, social or health challenges. It’s important to me that I ‘walk my talk’ as an everyday philanthropist and am a current member of a brilliant grassroots movement for change, called Impact100 Sydney.

My approach to life and work is heavily influenced by my professional training in Dr Gabor Mate's Compassionate Inquiry approach, which emphasises empathy and understanding and applies a trauma-informed lens to communication and mentoring.

If you're looking to scale the difference you make and need funding to do it, my incredible team and I would be honoured to help you get there.

Member of Benefolk - Australia’s Specialist Social Impact Community

Grantful is proud to be a member of Benefolk, a national community of senior social sector specialists dedicated to strengthening charities, not-for-profits and impact organisations. Benefolk connects organisations with high quality expertise, tools and peer support that help them deliver lasting impact without compromise.

Being part of Benefolk means I have been vetted and accepted into a community that upholds high standards of professionalism and deep sector understanding. It also means my work is reinforced by ongoing access to insights, sector frameworks and collaborative expertise that benefit every client I support.

This membership is not a decorative badge. It signals credibility, alignment to sector best practice and a commitment to sustainable impact outcomes. It gives your organisation confidence that the advice, strategies and submissions you receive from Grantful are grounded in recognised standards and connected to a broader ecosystem of experienced practitioners.

Grantful’s participation in Benefolk keeps us connected to evolving best practice and sector dialogue. It also means our work is informed by broad and current perspectives on what drives sustainable impact.

The Only Way to Book Me by the Hour

For short, focused advisory support, Benefolk’s Expert Bar is the only way to book time with me.

Through the Expert Bar, organisations can book either a 60-minute or 90-minute session for strategic advice, problem-solving or second-opinion guidance on grants, tenders, funding strategy or readiness.

I do not offer ad-hoc hourly consulting outside this pathway. The Expert Bar ensures sessions are structured, high-value and accessible to organisations that need expert input without committing to a full engagement.
