This includes coordinating pro bono referrals, MinterEllison’s significant commitment to LawRight’s Homeless Persons’ Legal Clinic (HPLC), and award-winning partnerships with organisations such as Glenala State High School and Australia’s CEO Challenge.

With more than 15 years' experience in this area, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and strategies for effective community engagement. I also work collaboratively to find innovative ways to address pressing community issues.
