I have a real love for learning and so have been through multiple pivots throughout my career. starting as a telecommunications engineer. For seven years I worked in hardware, software, then consulting and finally as a market strategist. From there, I became a secondary school mathematics teacher and taught at local schools in the UK, Australia and then at various international schools in Sudan, East Timor, and Uganda. In 2010-2011, a Master of International Crisis Management led me into humanitarian work (education in emergencies) and then in 2023 I completed a Master of Social Work. I am currently working with a large youth service provider coordinating a place-based collaboration to end youth homelessness by 2032. Throughout my career, advocacy has been my passion and I have managed to weave it into pretty much every role I have had. I am now on a journey to pivot to a high-impact role at the intersection of AI Governance, advocacy, and animal welfare. I have a 12-month plan that includes fellowships, courses, collaborations, conferences, networking and more. I am very excited to be a part of the EA community.
