Burleigh Heads, Queensland, Australia

As a Finding Kin Officer, I am deeply committed to healing and supporting First Nations children in care by reconnecting them with their family, community, and culture. Through detailed family mapping, I work to restore connections that have been fractured, addressing the lasting impacts of past child safety actions on First Nations communities.

Australia

During my internship with the Diversity and Inclusion Department at QBE Insurance in Perth, I worked collaboratively to enhance awareness around First Nations people and promote cultural safety in the workplace. I contributed by developing high-quality content for social media and drafting the 2023 Reconciliation Action Plan by reviewing and updating existing reconciliation materials, ensuring they were current and relevant. This experience strengthened my passion for advocacy and provided me with valuable insights into fostering inclusivity and reconciliation in professional environments.

Perth, Western Australia, Australia

During my time as an Indigenous Student Ambassador at the University of Western Australia, I demonstrated strong interpersonal skills by building rapport with a diverse range of event attendees. I thrived in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment, collaborating with a team of ambassadors to recommend strategies that enhanced student engagement. I also provided essential support to prospective students about the application process, delivering clear and straightforward assistance with their inquiries. This experience built my ability to work efficiently under pressure, engage meaningfully with a variety of people, and contribute to a positive and inclusive university culture.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

As a Child Protection Intern Practitioner with the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing in Melbourne, I gained invaluable experience in safeguarding the wellbeing of at-risk children. I arranged and supervised contact between parents and children in out-of-home care, developing a deep understanding of the challenges faced by young people in care. Through effective communication with various stakeholders—including ACCOs, NFP organisations, schools, lawyers, and families—I contributed to risk assessments, cultural support plans, and thorough documentation for at-risk children. Collaborating closely with Child Protection Practitioners, I supported investigations into the safety and wellbeing of children, ensuring their best interests were always prioritised.
