It was November 2014 and she was being interviewed to become Netball Queensland's chief executive officer. She knew what she was doing was risky.
But Clark, 43, doesn't operate by playing it safe.
She'd held CEO roles previously - including the former CEO of Gymnastics New Zealand and Gymnastics Australia - but this time was different.
She was now a new mum, with son Magnus 12 months old at the time.
"I declared in my job interview that my No. 1 priority was being a mum and if you appoint me to this position I will be leaving at 4pm every day to pick up my son," says Clark, who grew up in Redcliffe and Burpengary, north of Brisbane, and attended Caboolture State High and Delaney's Creek State School.
