A native of Melbourne, Australia, I have been living abroad in Europe since the end of 2013. I spent the first half of 2014 completing my Master's degree in Paris, where I sharpened my French skills to an intermediate level. Since then, I have been living in Helsinki, Finland, studying the Finnish language and working as a freelance author. I will be relocating to London in September this year.
With an education in International Relations, and outstanding professional experience in fundraising and administration in the higher education and NGO sectors, I am keen to further my career in the area of international development. The foremost requirement I have in developing my career is to do 'good work' - that is, work that is personally and emotionally fulfilling, and that effects positive and lasting change in the lives of others.
