With 10 years’ experience in sport, health, tertiary education and public sector, I have a strong passion for equity, community engagement and best practice healthcare.

A Master’s in Exercise Physiology led me to clinical and project management roles in the not for profit community health setting and fostered professional opportunities locally and overseas. More recently, as a provider specialist responsible for managing a portfolio of relationships and standards across the health, disability and trauma sector.

An advocate for sport and its capacity to positively impact the health of young people and their connection to community, supported by partnering and collaborating with community members to co-design and implement programs in diverse settings.

The YMCA Board actively encourage young people to extend their skills and knowledge in the governance and stewardship, this saw Annabel join the Y Board in 2022 and young governor under 30 years of age and is currently the Chair of the Risk and Safeguarding Committee and Board Safeguarding Sponsor.
