Director, UQ Indigenous Business Hub

University of Queensland

Proud saltwater woman with family ties to Darug, Garigal, and Awabakal peoples.

I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which I work and their continual connections, both cultural and spiritual to land, sea and community.

I pay my respect to Elders and those who have walked before me. Sovereignty has never been ceded, this is, was and always will be Aboriginal land.
