I have spent almost three decades of working in the area of social disadvantage, I have worked for State and Federal government and Ministers, NGOs and the private sector delivering social change initiatives.

I am passionate about cross sector collaboration and innovation in social disadvantage.

I am embarking on a PhD in Disruptive Social Innovation in 2015.

I believe that Philanthropy and Corporate Social Responsibility, academia, government and NGOs have a great deal to offer in financing innovative projects that break the cycle of disadvantage.
