Bio: I am an Australian-American Master of Social Welfare (MSW) student studying at UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs. I am currently interning with Painted Brain in Los Angeles. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work with First Class Honors at the University of South Australia in my hometown of Adelaide. I have undertaken primary research exploring the lived experiences of same-sex couples raising children in my home state of South Australia, and later authored a peer reviewed article detailing my findings in a psychological journal. I am passionate about human rights, social justice and mental health, particularly in relation to LGBT and Queer communities.
