Unlock Impactful Programs for Community and Economic Growth

​

I specialise in designing and delivering programs that achieve meaningful outcomes for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, particularly around enhancing economic and employment opportunities. My work focuses on creating culturally safe and engaging environments that foster learning, development, and connection.

​

Successful Programs Include:

​

• Garrandarang Aboriginal Book Club: A 12-month program designed to foster cultural knowledge, literacy, and social connection through literature by Aboriginal authors. Tailored for residents of social housing estates, this program offers a safe, inclusive space for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal participants to engage in discussions that transform perspectives on history and contemporary issues. This initiative successfully secured funding from Family and Community Services (FACS).

• Join the Dots 2015-16: A professional development program aimed at Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creatives who want to transform their hobbies into viable small businesses. Over 12 months, participants attended workshops on essential business skills, including tax, copyright, contracts, pricing, marketing, and retail strategies. This program, created in partnership with Wagga Wagga City Council, was instrumental in growing the local community's creative economy.

• Join the Dots 2016-17: Building on the previous year's success, this skills development program focused on enhancing the creative abilities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. With hands-on workshops led by industry experts in fields like screen printing, brush making, and other art forms, the program provided participants with new skills, cultural knowledge, and networking opportunities. Developed during my tenure with Wagga Wagga City Council, this program further strengthened the community’s creative landscape.
