Her experience in Aboriginal Affairs and business acumen through a variety of employment experiences which include appointments as Regional Director - Aboriginal Affairs NSW (6 years), General Manager - Gannambarra Enterprises LTD and as a Registered Nurse allowed Donna to initialise her own Indigenous consultancy firm in Yindyamarra. Donna’s experience is backed by an Executive Master’s in Public Administration, Dip. Indigenous leadership and B. Nursing.
Donna has particular skills in driving transformational change, both through the design and deployment of new systems, processes and frameworks to improve consistency efficiency and accountability and through creating a vision for an improved culture, based around client-centricity.

As the Director of Yindyamarra Consultancy, Donna’s vision to drive transformational change has been refined. As a 100% Aboriginal-owned and managed consultancy, Donna provides business and personal support services amongst a range of Aboriginal clients.
