I’m passionate about…

I’m passionate about inspiring social change and creating a positive difference in society in whatever way I can. Helping donors on their giving journeys is a privilege and honour that allows me to live and breathe this passion as, collectively, we have the power to create a positive and inclusive society.

My experience

Prior to joining Australian Communities Foundation, I worked with a small not-for-profit organisation, Hands on Health Australia, where I coupled my background in international development and myotherapy to coordinate student volunteers and manage a community health training project in rural India. I also ran my own small business in Melbourne that aimed to foster creativity and inspire creative communities. In addition, my experience as a grantseeker has given me a unique insight into the complexity and nuance of power dynamics at play in philanthropy. This insight drives the way I communicate with organisations in order to analyse projects and recommend these to donors.
