Helen is an accomplished and widely experienced arts and cultural engagement consultant. For more than 25 years, working with talented passionate people, her award-winning business has delivered over 400 events across the country with acknowledgements including twice a finalist in the Australian Event Manager of the Year and being named a Victorian Small Business Hero. After a remarkable year producing over 40 events in regional Australia and Canberra, she moved away from a crazy work life making the decision to broaden her focus and use her skills and time in different ways.
Amidst the creative pursuits of writing a novel and composing songs, she now shares her business experience through consulting and coaching, specialising in arts & cultural troubleshooting and turnaround. Enhancing this work is a Master of Fine Arts (Cultural Leadership) from the National Institute of Dramatic Arts (NIDA) completed in 2019; elected as a Councillor to Mildura Rural City Council in the same year and in 2020 she completed the Australian Institute of Company Director’s course and was elected Deputy Mayor.
As an effective city councillor she has held the portfolios for Arts, Culture & Heritage and Community Development & Gender Equity – all areas she is experienced in and passionate about and for which she makes every moment count.
Helen looks forward to sharing her knowledge, skills, ideas and passion on projects that inspire, challenge and excite us and invites you to take a look through this site to see what she does…and what we can do together.
