CV

I live and work on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri (Woiwurrung) and Boonwurrung people of the Kulin Nation. I acknowledge their unbreakable kinship and connection with land, waterways and community. I pay my respects to Elders past and present. The colonial project is ongoing and continues to disenfranchise First Nations people.  Sovereignty was never ceded.
