  • Biography/ Background

    I am of Malak Malak /Anglo-Australian /German heritage, a descendant of the people of the west Daly River region N.T (Peppimenarti) from the Marrithiyel language group and a member of the Stolen Generations. I have worked in Aboriginal organisations and with First Nations communities for over 27 years, across a broad range of industries, including Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol support, Curator and Visual Arts Manager and Coordinator in Indigenous Arts, and an Environmental Advisor in the natural resources and civil construction industry.

    Having moved into the education sector, I have been a staff member at the University of Adelaide since 2018 where I worked part-time as the Indigenous Student Support Officer for the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences before transferring into the newly established Indigenous Support Librarian role at the Barr Smith Library in April 2019 - August 2021. After moving into the Reconciliation Officer role at Wirltu Yarlu this invaluable experience to work in cross-unit program and participate in policy and project delivery, executive and stakeholder engagement and undertake operational management provided exposure and further opportunities to establish my new role as Manager, Wirltu Yarlu.
