About Leah
Leading with a listen-first approach, Leah values collaboration and partnership. Recognising the profound impacts that policy decisions can have on individuals and groups, she approaches projects with a keen sense of empathy and understanding. For Leah, acknowledging the individuals and groups at the heart of any project keeps the goal firmly grounded in impact. Pairing that empathy and community focus with keen organisation, time management and analytical skills gives her a balanced approach.

She is committed to public value work and the crucial role it plays in creating strong and vibrant communities. As a second generation Australian, she has witnessed first-hand how public value organisations can change the lives of those they interact with.
Outside of work, Leah loves touring architecturally designed homes, indulging in Melbourne’s best wine bars, and trying new restaurants. She keeps active with Pilates classes and beach walks.
