(1) In a nutshell, my job is to…
Provide administrative assistance to the Walanga Muru team, in the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous Strategy.

I get to work in an environment that promotes education and culture – two aspects of my own life that I am passionate about as a pre-service teacher and a proud Kija woman.

(3) This year I want to…
Finally finish my teaching degree!

Agreed to represent the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation on live television. Although it was an amazing experience, I was so nervous and am not cut out for journalism.

(5) A place that’s special to me is…
My beautiful hometown Broome – a place where the red dirt meets the blue sea. It’s extremely important for me to get home, reconnect and rejuvenate. I go a little crazy if I don’t.

To stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.

Definitely cheese and wine and probably a bit of reality TV.

(8) My hidden talent is…
I love dancing but unfortunately don’t get a chance to do it as much as I use to.

I’m way too scared to do it now but one day I’d love to skydive.

(10) A moment I’ll always remember is…
December 2018… I returned home for the holidays, witnessed the birth of my beautiful Goddaughter and spent every day reconnecting to country and spending time with family.
