About Heather Catchpole

I'm a strategic thinker and ideas person with a passion for education and innovation. In 2013 I co-founded Refraction Media with a vision to inspire a smarter future, and created the Careers with STEM platform, to engage students and equip educators with the tools to increase enrolments in STEM pathways and careers. I have deep expertise in science and technology, as a team leader, in digital communications tools and business growth, client and partnership development and interactive media and education content creation. I am passionate about inclusion and working with people across different cultural, physical and intellectual abilities and gender roles, and am an experienced speaker on STEM, education, future of work, and equity and inclusion.
