Sydney
I am part of the team organising the first Australian Social Innovation Camp. I have worked in the areas of online community engagement for a number of years and with people from all over the world. The projects I have been involved in have taken me to some of the most remote areas of the world where I have been able to learn more about the differences that still exist in our world. I decided to concentrate my working life looking for ways to connect people that want to help others. I am very excited seeing how the interest in social innovations continues growing in Australia and around the world

I’ve just finished studying a B Comm (Marketing & Business Strategy) at the University of New South Wales. Next year I begin working in management consulting. I love the concept of social entrepreneurship. One of my (many) goals is to be a social entrepreneur. Still fleshing out ideas.
