Let’s work together

I’m an introverted soul, quietly passionate about creating connection, offering encouragement, and supporting both our immediate and wider Defence community.

I thrive on deep listening, thoughtful collaboration, and exploring new ideas – especially when they align with values like kindness, sustainability, and support that actually works for real life.

Ways We Can Work Together

Brand Partnerships & Ambassadorships
I love working with values-aligned brands that serve Defence families, low-battery humans, or small business owners with heart.
Local Event Coverage & Media Opportunities
Whether it’s attending, writing, or sharing from the field, I’m available for relevant community-based events or Defence-supporting initiatives.
Virtual Business Support
As the founder of Operation Support, I also offer consulting, clarity sessions, and executive virtual support for small business owners who are carrying too much.
