Hi there! I’ve worked in senior risk roles across multiple agencies over the past 15 years. I’m a certified practising risk manager and a Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Risk Management.

Gresa, Client Capability Adviser Gresa

I’m a registered nurse by background, having worked in clinical, education and risk roles in one of the largest health services in Victoria. These roles have inspired me to complete a Master of Business (Risk Management) degree, which focused on risk management and finance. I’m passionate about risk management and healthcare and enjoy combining insights from both professions to add value to the services we provide our clients at VMIA.

If you have any questions or need some assistance, please reach out to clientlearning@vmia.vic.gov.au - we look forward to connecting with you.
