I shall abandon professionalism and actually admit that I wrote this section myself.
Amongst many things, I am a researcher, thinker, teacher, change agent and most of all, I’d like to think that I am an avid observer and learner still trying to find my place in this world, and be significant in my own interests and passions.
I have passion for young people who are inspired. I believe that these people, given the right support and resources can do GREAT things.
I get excited by emerging technology, especially harnessing the power of emerging technology to drive social change.
I am a Research Project Officer at the Teaching and Educational Development Institute, and Academic Support at the School of Education at The University of Queensland.
I am also a Youth Ambassador for the Inspire Foundation, a non-profit that utilises information communication technology to help millions of young people lead happier, meaningful lives.
I am an author for Digital For Good, an attention/information philanthropy organisation, supporting non-profits use of information communication technology.
Research Officer for Project Australia, an online incubator for social innovation, helping launch non-profit ideas that address social needs.
Website Manager and Reviewer for News Unlimited, a student-run news website.
Director of Research for YES Brisbane (Youth, Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation), a non-profit organisation dedicated to resourcing and supporting young people with ideas. Check out our Social Inkubator program here.
My interests lie in youth and community engagement; activism; social innovation; online and offline community; and how I can tie all these together. I have presented and attended a number of international and national conferences, ran a few workshops and still figuring out what I want to do with all my different interests and education backgrounds.
Always up for coffee!
