This, coupled with her experience in Registration and Accreditation for the New South Wales Education Standards Authority has engendered within Lisa a great passion for the development of learning and development opportunities which enhance the synergy of teams while prioritising the well-being of employees. Lisa’s experience at NESA honed her awareness of designing professional development opportunities for organisations which uphold key compliance responsibilities, and which serve to empower employees in these vital areas.

An accomplished speaker and presenter, Lisa relishes the opportunity to deliver workshops and programs to clients from a range of sectors. Her passion for the development of soft skills for students comes from a motivation to ensure education resonates well beyond the classroom. Lisa’s commitment to the morale and well-being of teachers, drives the creation and delivering of bespoke programs for this sector.
