Agency is the leading creative studio for social impact. As an accredited B-Corp and social business by constitution, Agency is a testament to innovation in for-purpose business models. In recognition of that work, it was named one of Westpac's Businesses of Tomorrow in 2017. I worked with my co-lead to manage business operations, personnel, and client projects as well as overseeing all creative output from our Sydney office (Agency HQ).We led successful projects for over 200 non-profits, government organisations and businesses, helping to craft organisational strategies, creative campaigns and attention-grabbing moments. Our clients ranged from start-up social enterprises and campaigns, like Hireup and Climate Council, to global organisations like the UNOCHA and UNDP and global moments like the World Humanitarian Summit; and from key government departments like Transport NSW and Taronga, to leading non-profit brands like Amnesty, the Cancer Council, and World Vision.

The World Vision Youth Conferences are international leadership events for secondary school leaders. The conferences are designed to equip students with the knowledge and leadership tools they need to create change both locally and globally.I created and presented engaging, entertaining and informative content and sessions that would lead students to not only better understand global issues, but to know how to act on them. This role brought together my passion to tackle the injustice of poverty, my deep connection with World Vision's work and my experience in youth engagement and education.In this period, I presented over 50 conferences across 19 cities in 3 countries to more than 25,000 students.

World Vision Australia is the largest international aid and development organisation in Australia. When I was in high school, it was World Vision's 40 Hour Famine that first engaged me in global issues and prompted me to think about the injustice of poverty. In this role I led a team of 10 staff across NSW and ACT to connect young people with a vision for a better world for all. We measured our impact through the 40 Hour Famine, which met or exceeded its target in each year. For me, the most important work we did was to educate and empower a new generation of globally aware leaders in Australia, that will shape our country, our region and our world for the better in years to come.

In this role I lead the roll out of the 40 Hour Famine across more than 300 schools in NSW, from Newcastle to Nowra and everywhere in between. This role included account management, proficiency in communication and public speaking, and a strong sales ability. By far the part I loved most was sharing with young Australians, each and every day, about the transformative work of World Vision.

With the ability to provide tangible, and meaningful experiences with endangered species; Taronga is uniquely able to create lasting impact both for its visitors, and for the wild. My role was to ensure those experiences resulted in real impact.I worked within the education team to teach students, adults, tourists and VIPs about the significance of our natural environment, the importance of maintaining habitat for wildlife and people, and the role each of us can play in effective conservation. As I learnt at Taronga, if you can engage a crowd about conservation, while holding a diamond python and dressed head to toe in khaki, you're ready for anything.
