I am nominating for the position of Academic staff member on Council as a husband and father; a member of the LGBTIQA+ community; and an early career researcher in the practice of tech policy at the ANU Tech Policy Design Centre in the College of Law.

I am conscious of our diverse Academic community, the different paths we follow and the challenges that we face as people and a profession. I have arrived here via my own non-traditional academic pathway, working in policy, advocacy, communications, and management roles both within and outside of the University.

At the ANU there are many pressing issues, particularly the poor financial situation which is having a direct and noticeable effect on our community. The ANU Council has oversight of the whole University and must act on all matters in its best interest.

With your vote, I will provide an effective voice at the Council table for our community when such issues are discussed, and decisions made. 

I have served on the boards of several organisations, most significantly the University of Tasmania Council and the Diversity Council Australia. If elected, I know how to effectively represent the voice of our community at Council.
