Brandon has a demonstrated capacity to work with community and key stakeholders to deliver work of the highest quality.
In his time working with ACON, Brandon aptly brought together our board, staff and community members to develop a strong foundation on which our Strategic Plan was built. He then worked with our senior leaders and partners to deliver a document that was true to the vision and values of our organisation, but also provided the groundwork for an innovative and exciting body of work over the course of the plan.
Brandon authored a number of key policy and strategy documents outside the organisational plan, all of which demonstrated his commitment to evidence based thinking, clear communication and an absolute understanding of their audience.
They are easy to work with, engaging and incredibly passionate about the influence of strategy and policy on the health of communities who face vulnerability
I worked closely with Brandon for five years. We partnered with health sector staff across NSW in the development and delivery of sexual health resources and training for use by those working with young people experiencing health vulnerability.
Brandon was outstanding in this work. He was an excellent team player, a consistently clever problem solver, and a dynamic and versatile presenter. He provides challenging content which interests and stretches participants, and he balances this perfectly with a good dose of humour.
Brandon’s passion for engaging participants in meaningful reflection, learning activities and youth education strategies required frequent research in order to ensure up-to-date information and fresh, inclusive material. Brandon seemed to thrive on this, which kept our sessions fresh and energising for participants and teaching partners alike.
Brandon’s eagerness to learn – through desktop as well as practical research – results in deep insights into the lived experience of those he is advocating for. And he puts this to good use with his excellent presentation and teaching styles.
Brandon has a big heart for work that empowers individuals and communities. I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough.
Brandon hosted a fundraising event for us at Young Henry's Brewery. He was a joy to work with ahead of the event and a professional, engaging and hilarious host. Throughout this project he was consistently focussed on the goals of the event and across every detail.
We successfully raised over $4000, double our goal. I would work with Brandon again in a heartbeat
