VOICE OVER: For me, social change is about engaging people, understanding the past, seeing the present; cultures are different and opinion runs hot on the topic of equality or cultural diversity. It’s about being able to adapt, negotiate. You need to listen closely, then you have the tools to problem solve and develop solutions that’s actually work.
TEXT ON SCREEN: Adaptable.
VOICE OVER: I do want to make the world a better place. And when you look closely, there’s so much we can do better. When I volunteered and traveled with the Red Cross to Africa for the UN, I learnt so much from the people there – our commonalities far outweigh our differences. It showed me where to focus and the RMIT Masters of Information Management offered the relevant industry knowledge. The Masters gave me the skills to launch from libraries to international development and now politics.
TEXT ON SCREEN: Flexible.
VOICE OVER: It’s a long journey. Gender equality, social justice, it’s great to have this opportunity and the RMIT business programs introduced me to like minded people, genuinely interested in what I’m doing. Sometimes you bump your head, hard. I’m definitely more comfortable now with the idea that with risk comes great reward. I truly love what I do and I get to do it everyday.
