About

I am employed as a producer at ABC Radio Canberra. I hold Bachelor’s Degrees in Laws (Honours) specialising in corporate and commercial law, and Arts (Gender & Sexuality). I studied as a Tuckwell Scholar. I am passionate about people's stories and lived experiences, and ensuring that support services are accessible to wide audiences. I am very fortunate to be able to listen to, learn from, and support an array of people in my work and volunteering activities. My interests focus on the intersections of gender, media and the law.
