her Master of Event Management at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), finishing at
the top of her course and earning the Dean’s Merit List Award for Academic Excellence. She

appointed Chair of the Australian Business Events Association’s inaugural Emerging Leaders
Council, and became a member of the association’s Education Council that November by

you can – big or small – better than you found it.
