I am an anthropologist and facilitator. I like grappling with social and political puzzles.
I am currently Senior Policy Officer at Council to Homeless Persons, providing strategic policy and research advice to the Victorian Government to end homelessness. I was recently a Research Fellow at University of Melbourne, looking at urban settlements and customary land agreements in Port Vila, Vanuatu. I have also done research with West Papuan musicians in Melbourne and critical anthropological practice in Britain. Previously, I worked on disability advocacy and youth policy in Victoria, Australia, and building peace in Bougainville.
I have a Bachelor of Arts (Politics & International Studies and Anthropology; 2017) with Honours in Anthropology (2021) from the University of Melbourne, and a Master of Science in Social Anthropology from the University of Oxford (Wolfson College; 2023).
