Gaming Operations Manager/ Proud@TheStar Co-Lead
2024 Network Leader of the Year
Tell Us about yourself.
I joined Proud (formerly known as Spectrum) in 2017 and officially assumed the Co-Lead role in November 2021. I have been part of the company for over 21 years, serving in various capacities.
Why did you join Proud@TheStar?
My journey with Spectrum/Proud began during the marriage plebiscite, a time that placed the LGBTQI+ communities under intense scrutiny. The narrative was often harmful and derogatory, particularly from certain media and public spheres.
My involvement was driven by a deep-seated commitment to be a beacon of support and positivity for those in need. The power of visibility is profound, especially for individuals from diverse backgrounds. Witnessing allies and LGBTQI+ members who embraced their identity with openness and pride inspired me to be true to myself. In turn, I aspired to be that source of encouragement and affirmation for others, fostering an environment where authenticity is celebrated and safeguarded.
In your opinion, what was your most significant achievement as Co-Lead of Proud@TheStar?
There are so many to list, but I have three achievements that stand out.
The first was being involved with our first-ever successful AWEI Gold Employer status. It was such a fantastic recognition of what Proud and The Star have achieved (and we smashed the previous year’s score, which made it even better).
Secondly, I was invited to help reintroduce a team member who was affirming their gender to their department. It was an absolute joy to see the collaboration from all the stakeholders and how their team welcomed them with open arms. Seeing a person’s growth and change since they affirmed has been remarkable and is the perfect story of how allowing people to be their authentic selves really does create a positive impact.
And lastly, of course, winning Network Leader of the Year and Employer of the Year at the 2024 Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards.
What does winning Network Lead of the Year mean to you?
I cried. That’s the Piscean in me. In all seriousness, though, I was really honoured to be nominated and a finalist. So, when my name was announced, I was utterly shocked! Without the dedication of the Proud team, we would never have been able to achieve what we had. Being able to co-lead a group of passionate and driven people is an absolute pleasure, and they are what fuelled me to keep going, even when it did get a little tough.
What do we do best here at the Star in terms of D&I?
We involve everybody and create a safe and inclusive work culture. Our PVP shows that we are serious about embedding D&I into our business.
What advice can you give as an outgoing Co-Lead?
Allyship is a crucial part of transforming conversations. Even for those who identify as LGBTQI+, we can still be allies for others within the community. Alarming laws and legislation have been passed in other countries that can significantly impact people’s lives. As a business, The Star is ahead of many in our industry in terms of diversity and inclusion, but there’s still a lot to do. The Trans and gender-diverse communities are starting to feel vulnerable, so let’s continue to work on making The Star a safe and inclusive place for everyone, esp., for trans and gender-diverse team members.

Based on a share price of $5.68, being the closing price of The Star Entertainment Group (SGR) shares on the Australian Securities Exchange on the Record Date, an Unmarketable Parcel was any holding of 88 shares or less.
Eligible shareholders who wished to retain their Unmarketable Parcel were required to return a Share Retention Form to the share registry by the Closing Date.
