She brings over eight years of experience in psychology, social policy reform and public sector leadership and combines robust project management with a nuanced approach to building relationships and sustaining positive outcomes. Bhairavi is an expert project manager and facilitator, having led large and complex engagements, including independent reviews, multi-cohort leadership programs and sensitive stakeholder engagement processes. She also works with clients across Australia and the UK to advance their equity, diversity and inclusion practices.
Bhairavi balances a dual career as a performing musician and improviser. Trained in western classical and Carnatic (South Indian classical) violin, she has 15 years of experience across Australia and internationally, with over 300 shows to her name. Outside of performance, she also runs a grassroots not-for-profit organisation called Gamaka, which aims to cultivate engagement in Carnatic music. She enjoys applying her creative brain to solving complex problems with clients.
Prior to Nous, Bhairavi worked at the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services and the Australian Government Department of Social Services. She holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Diploma in Languages (French) from Monash University.
When she isn’t playing concerts, Bhairavi spends most of her spare time spoiling her fur-children, Banjo the dog and Sam the cat (who are also best buds).
