All about me

I have firsthand experience in planning and running campaigns, lobbying and advocating for NTEU members, and engaging and activating workers and the community.

I am a founding director of Creative Unions, a new non-profit organisation committed to strengthening the trade union movement’s communication strategies and design.

I have a Masters of Public Policy and Management from the University of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. My Masters of Public Policy focused on climate change policy and media management. I have a strong understanding and appreciation for the magnitude of the climate change challenge facing Australia and the world.

I have several years of governance experience with community and activist organisations. I was an Executive member of the University of Melbourne Graduate Association since 2007, and was Treasurer in 2008. I was board member of the Melbourne University Student Union Ltd (2005-2006), and was General Secretary and Public Officer in 2006.

I am a Climate Project presenter and was trained by Al Gore at the 2009 Climate Project Asia Pacific Summit.
