About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Do, or do not. There is no 'try'.
ABOUT ME
I'm passionate about politics, philosophy and global issues! I work full time for an awesome organisation called Change.org and run the Australian office -- it gives me the incredible privilege of working on all sorts of social, economic and environmental issues on a daily basis.
I live in an awesome little house close to the city - we've got a backyard with a hammock, live opposite a beautiful park and are 30 seconds walk from a train station.
I've two awesome housemates - Tom (a postgrad law student & designer) and Kath (a speech pathologist completing her PHD in public health). We love good conversation, a well brewed chai in the morning and generally having a good time!
I'm particularly passionate about aid and development, and climate change - since 2006 I've worked in a myriad of roles and organisations creating, growing and leading campaigns, initiatives and organisations to tackle these two massive issues. I'm also a vegetarian who misses meat desperately, and I love to cook.
I love finding out about people - everyone has a story to tell. And I love good conversations about deep issues. I find there's nothing more relaxing or fun than a beer with good company, great live music, or an awesome book.
