I have been working in the transport industry (focussing on the development sector) for the last 25 years. My experience has allowed me to contribute to the changing focus of AITPM in the last two years as one of the NSW branch committee. I would like to continue my role as a branch committee to further my engagement and contribution to the organisation in shaping industry policy and working closer with the government. 

I am committed to the future of transport planning and engineering, and I see joining the Branch Committee as a great way to give back to the profession and keep learning from others. I have been fortunate to work as part of multi-disciplinary teams on some complex projects, and I am especially passionate about fostering collaboration across the industry, supporting early career professionals, and being part of conversations that show how transport can help create more sustainable, liveable cities.

I am eager to get more involved with the industry and contribute to sharing knowledge within the transport planning community. My career journey has taken me from Transport for NSW to time working as an independent consultant, and now with consulting firms. I am currently working for Aurecon as an Associate Transport Planner. I have a particular interest in public transport planning and have worked on major public transport projects across Australia. I am keen to bring my passion for public transport into my work with the Committee.

I kindly ask for your support in my candidacy for the AITPM Branch Committee.

As your current NSW/ACT Committee member, I am re-nominating to continue championing innovation, collaboration, and excellence in our profession. With 20+ years in transport planning and operations‚ including senior leadership at Transurban and Transport for NSW‚ I've delivered major infrastructure outcomes, shaped policy, and led crisis responses that kept NSW moving. Currently, I lead traffic integration for the $1.7B M7-M12 project. My previous leadership of tunnel strategy and network operations across NSW has shaped policy, improved safety, and enhanced customer outcomes. I've also chaired operational committees and driven customer-focused solutions in complex environments. As an active AITPM NSW/ACT Committee member, and Crown Land Deputy Chair, I bring a strong governance mindset and a passion for sustainable, community-focused transport. I'm committed to supporting our members and amplifying your voice. Let's keep building momentum‚ together.

I am nominating to help AITPM better achieving their current goals and setting new areas of activities. I will mainly seek improving AI, Academia and industry connections to achieve AITPM goals. 

I am a highly accomplished Transport Planner and Traffic Engineer with over 24 years of experience in both private multi-disciplinary and specialist consultancies. Recently accepted as a Fellow of AITPM, I am recognised for my significant contributions to the industry. Over the past 12 years, I have led and managed teams across various disciplines, including Transport Modelling, Traffic Engineering, Transport Advisory, Transport Planning, and Transport Technology. My leadership style is centred on fostering growth, development, and retention by understanding the unique needs of my teams and promoting a collaborative work environment.
Adept at translating complex technical concepts into clear, accessible language, I excel at engaging both technical and non-technical stakeholders. My skill in facilitating workshops and leading discussions allow me to unite diverse groups to achieve shared goals and drive successful outcomes.
I have built a strong reputation in the Transport Planning and Advisory sector through decades of trusted client relationships and my unwavering commitment to delivering impactful results. With an extensive network and deep industry expertise, I am well-positioned to advocate for the sector. As a member of the NSW AITPM Branch Committee, I will bring a strategic vision, leadership, and collaboration to drive positive change within the industry.

I have been a member of the AITPM NSW Branch Committee for over twenty years and have enjoyed every moment I have been on it.  I would like to continue helping out in the organisation of Branch events and also supporting and mentoring new members in their professional career.  I am really keen to see us plan and deliver an amazing National Conference in Sydney when it is our time.

I am pleased to submit this application to join the NSW State Committee. I have a strong history with AITPM having served on the Victorian committee for 8 years, 4 of which were as the State Secretary.

I am currently the Branch Manager NSW for Amber Organisation and have over 20 years experience across traffic engineering, active transport and traffic modelling. I have worked on a diverse range of projects across infrastructure and land development throughout Australia.

Having recently relocated to NSW, I'm looking forward to working with the NSW committee in delivering high quality networking and technical events and providing advocacy for the Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning industry. 

It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my nomination for election to the AITPM NSW & ACT Branch Committee. Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of serving on the committee, including as Treasurer. In this role, I successfully managed budgets across two financial years and supported the planning and delivery of key events with transparency and dedication. This experience has deepened my appreciation of AITPM's impact on our profession and strengthened my commitment to its mission.
With a background in traffic modelling, planning, and engineering, I bring extensive industry experience and a strong passion for fostering innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing.

My leadership roles, including serving as General Secretary and Vice-President of an association representing over 750 engineers, have equipped me with practical skills in governance and member engagement.

As we look ahead, I am excited by the opportunity to continue contributing to AITPM's growth. If re-elected, I will continue supporting initiatives that promote professional development, diversity, and the adoption of emerging technologies, while strengthening connections among members. I seek your support in this endeavour, promising to uphold our professional principles as we continue shaping the future of traffic planning and management across NSW and ACT. 

I would like to bring my technical experience in implementing traffic schemes back to the broader transport planning world to advocate for better projects to benefit the community.
