I am a Community Story Weaver and Thinking Partner with Befriend Inc in Perth, Western Australia (Befriend Inc). Through my work, I explore how deep listening, storytelling, and gift discovery nurture belonging, resilience, and meaningful community contribution.

The Listening Weave is a space for sharing reflections, stories, and insights on how communities can thrive. Here, I write about traditional tales and their relevance to our times, the Resilient Together Wanneroo project, and the power of transcontextual conversations—bringing together people, perspectives, and ideas in new and meaningful ways.

If you’re curious about how stories, connection, and deep listening can help communities flourish, I’d love for you to follow along.
