3.8 km swim +180 km ride + 4 2.2 km run.
In May 2026, I am challenging myself to take on a full Ironman in my home town of Port Macquarie, It’s not just for a medal, it's about showing up everyday to the training and being embracing by the most inspiring community who constantly push boundaries. As an Architect and founder, I look towards the future with Visions for 2040 and beyond, endurance creates a mindset, brings bold ideas to life: showing up, staying in it, and trusting the long game. This race is about building something deeper a movement rooted in sustainability, purpose, and possibility.
​
Run with Me - If I can cross that finish line, maybe others will believe they can also achieve that next impossible goal.

She has been a very valued member of the team working on a complex project of two large cooled conservatories for the Gardens by the Bay Project in Singapore. Lisa was Project Architect for one of the conservatories. ​During this period of intense work Lisa has shown commitment & enthusiasm and has often worked extremely long days and late nights. ​Although is was sad to loose Lisa in December 2008, we support her decision to return to Australia and wish her every success for her future. ​I have no hesitation in recommending her.​" Paul Baker | Director | Wilkinson Eyre Architects

Climate Wealth CEO Roundtable Curator FOR SIR RICHARD BRANSON
​
As part of Sir Richard Branson’s Creating Climate Wealth initiative, I took on the role of CEO Roundtable Organiser, contributing to a global movement focused on entrepreneurial solutions to climate change. This event brought together CEOs, innovators, and sustainability leaders to accelerate climate action through business-led solutions. My role involved coordinating logistics and strategic communications with top-tier international stakeholders & supporting outcomes that aligned with Branson’s mission of climate-positive wealth creation. One of the highlights of this experience was the opportunity to personally meet Sir Richard Branson and witness first-hand his passion for bold, actionable change. This moment, and the movement it represents continues to shape my commitment to designing a better, more sustainable future through Architecture, storytelling, and impact-driven leadership.
