UTS Alumni Awards 2026

I wrote the first and only book published in Australia on Indigenous procurement, to open doors and pave the way for Indigenous businesses.

For Boy Swallows Universe, people would say, from all these countries over the world, "This is telling my story."

AI changed everything for work and life. And I have a desire to help other people leverage it. Every day, we hear from our millions of patients about the care that we're able to deliver them.

Real impact happens when teams come together and execute on the strategy with diligence with precision and creativity.

Our work is advocating on behalf of gender equality. Working together to ensure that we lift the education levels of nations. That has a generational impact.

I studied the Bachelor of Information Technology. 

Bachelor of Business and Communications.

Bachelor of Adult Education.

Bachelor of Business, majoring in Marketing.

Bachelor of Communications at UTS.

The change I wanted to make was to be something that I'd never seen: to be a successful Indigenous business owner.

There was a freshness to the approach of the students, of the teachers, the willingness to learn in a group environment, in an entrepreneurial way.

What I gained most was confidence, that maybe otherwise I didn’t think that I had the right experience or skills. 

It really gave me the ability to craft those stories that really can move people to action.

It introduced the whole world to me. It was sort of the springboard  for everything that I'm doing right now.

The classroom was only a fraction of what UTS had to offer.

The network is something that’s truly powerful. That doesn't end once you graduate.

It helped me to have that creative and entrepreneurial thinking.

And now we bring opportunity and hopefully happiness for our team and staff.

UTS gave me the confidence to start.

It really gave me a basis for the programs that we deliver.

UTS gave me the confidence to dream,

to think deeply,

to express and experience,

to solve real-world problems.

UTS, I look back on it very fondly. And I don't think I would have  been able to achieve anything I've done without that experience.
