she/her

Working on Kaurna land

Bebe’s extensive career across journalism, marketing, advertising and communications makes her the ideal person to shout about TACSI’s achievements to the world. As our Head of Communications, Bebe strategises and oversees all external communications across web, brand, event and engagement, and social.

As a forward thinking strategic leader in her chosen area, she is passionate about the potential of platforms to inform, connect and engage communities in both local and global issues. She is always at the forefront of understanding shifts in international communications across multiple platforms and genres, watching how people engage with content closely to see how hearts and minds are shaped.

Often referred to as ‘Busy Bee’, she can often be found juggling multiple demands with challenging parameters across traditional NGO budgets and limitations, all with an eye to do things differently and authentically in the social impact comms space.

Bebe is passionate about the relationship between humans, animals, nature and the planet – and how digital communication shapes the way information moves through communities, influencing behaviour and politics. She’s a passionate elephant lover and hopes to visit Reteti and Sheldrick conservation reserves in Kenya one day.
