I am a descendant of the Wiradjuri people from Central NSW, and Yuin people from South Coast NSW, although I was born on Dharug Country.

For my job, I am responsible for the design, coordination and delivery of First Nations engagement strategies and activities to enable the Greater Cities Commission to effectively collaborate with its government, industry and First Nations stakeholders in the development of policy, strategy, planning and programs across our remit within NSW.

I work with First Nations STEM, manufacturing and production companies through the Commission’s Innovation Districts to encourage and nurture First Nations entrepreneurs, founders, women in tech, start-ups etc. to be a part of the NSW innovation eco system, to assist with First Nations economic self-determination, and further grow the economy of NSW.

I accepted and, am a proud ambassador for Deadly Science. Their message resonated with me from the get go. Science is a lifelong pursuit & continuous search for knowledge that has been advancing for generations. My work with them encourages First Nations kids to get involved in Science, to reconnect with their ancestral scientific practices and knowledge and, I get to help Deadly Science make massive changes to the lives of many in the process.

Knowledge is power they say. Through knowledge we can encourage personal growth. Through personal growth, people are able to inspire and elevate their communities. I was struck by the selflessness of Deadly Science and their unwavering commitment to helping First Nations children.

That’s why I accepted to be an ambassador. That’s why I love Deadly Science.
