Sponsored by: Hero Packaging

“I am a proud alumni member of Macquarie University. I attended Macquarie University for my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. I started my career in accounting, and if I hadn't completed my Master of Commerce in Marketing at Macquarie University, I would never have discovered my passion for business, entrepreneurship and online marketing. It provided the stepping stone I needed to launch my business. Hero Packaging is Australia's first certified home-compostable, zero-waste shipping mailer. Made from renewable materials, rather than plastic, our mailers can be composted commercially or at home. We are on a mission to make Australia and the rest of the world plastic-free when it comes to packaging.

I would love to be able to give back to the Macquarie University community by donating prizes to students in online marketing.”
