About Community Network Company
Expertise
A Community Connector who leads with compassion and operational excellence, driving engagement and service delivery across complex, fast-moving environments.
My professional background spans nonprofit organisations, software design, implantations, with process design for daily operations, along with event management, and team leadership. My ability to align business outcomes with community needs has enabled me to provide consulting, compliance support, and best practice advice—particularly in navigating Federal, State, and Local regulatory frameworks.
Leading drivers for my passion to effect change is the daily commitment I have in supporting my two brothers in building independent lives, which brings valuable lived experience and a deeper understanding to my professional approach.
I combine professionalism with heart—bringing deep sector knowledge, hands-on leadership, and a personal commitment to creating inclusive, responsive services for the communities I serve.
What We Do
Community Network Company helps community providers design systems that work. We partner with not-for-profit and community transport organisations to improve utilisation, productivity, and sustainability—without adding vehicles, funding, staff or unnecessary complexity.
Our focus is not just on operations, but on how systems are designed to meet today’s demand and tomorrow’s reforms.
How We Help
Operational & Scheduling Reviews: We uncover where capacity is being lost and why.
System & Operating Model Design: We redesign how demand is grouped, resources are allocated, and roles are defined, so effort translates into outcomes.
Technology-Enabled Transformation: We help organisations adopt optimisation for in-use technology or prepare for and implement fit-for-purpose technology.
Regional Coordination & Partnerships: We support shared fleet models, coordinated service delivery, and scalable volunteer and owner-driver frameworks.
We help organisations unlock the capacity they already have.
