Bachelor of Communication
The experience at Deakin allowed me to pivot. I went from PR to broader communications, in-house, agency and now for a large corporation in marketing. I also loved the industry learning and encouragement to do internships, which ultimately helped get me a job.

Graduate Certificate of Communication
I’m the Media and PR Manager at Football Australia (Matildas). Studying at Deakin has helped me reflect on the deeper role communication plays in shaping how we see women in sport and to better advocate for stories that move the game and the conversation forward.

Master of Communication
I currently own my own PR and communication agency, and have various consulting roles and board positions. I plan to move to the US to work in college sports, in the new NIL (name, image, likeness) landscape. The ten year anniversary of starting my own business has been a career highlight.
