By giving our time and talents, we can create a brighter future for all and inspire others to do the same.

CSIRO STEM Professionals in Schools

I have volunteered with the CSIRO STEM Professionals in Schools program since 2018. I give science talks to local and regional Primary and High Schools and have judged science competitions like the one at Box Hill Primary (below left).

Biotech Futures Challenge

BIOTech Futures is an innovation and mentorship program that aims to empower the brightest young minds. Our initiative connects high school students with world-class academics to guide them through a research project to design scientific inspired solutions to challenges in the fields of Health, Medicine, Sustainability, Humanitarian aid and the Environment. 

Since 2020 I have been a mentor and volunteer with this challenge. I’ve assisted with High School outreach, helped create information videos (click image below) and designed surveys to capture the program outcomes.
