I want to live in a society that takes better care of people. My personal and professional experiences showed me that the social context of drug-related harm is dishonesty, stigma and punishment. My work focuses on transforming the public discussion and the policy settings that we use to manage drugs.I came to this work from a background in social policy research, communications consultancy and health equity program management. I completed a Bachelor of Arts and a PhD in Cultural Studies at the University of Sydney before beginning a career as a research and evaluation consultant to Australian government departments and agencies, focussing on alcohol and other drugs.I am a founder and CEO of the campaigning organisation Unharm, and a founder and board chair of drug checking organisation The Loop Australia.Unharm’s aspiration is to make drug use legal and safe in Australia so that everyone has a better chance to lead a healthy and happy life. It’s a health promotion charity, focussed on drug law reform and a new public conversation about society, drugs and addiction. Our goal is fair and realistic management of drugs and drug use, and our purpose is to promote wellbeing and destigmatise addiction and other drug-related harms. The organisation brings together a unique combination of a transformative agenda, a new, positive story, a commitment to social justice, smart policy ideas, digital capability, and powerful grassroots campaigns.
