Internship

Kimberley Land Council in the anthropology team. 

Research Assistant & Co-Author
Koori Justice Unit through Deakin University

Undertaking an in depth systematic literature review of Australian Aboriginal community safety programs at the Koori Justice Unit, Victoria. The review was developed and executed for the Coalition of Australian Governments Closing the Gap Clearinghouse, and included using the Maryland Methods Scale to decipher successful evaluations and programs. During this project I worked on site at the Department of Justice, networking with other employees and learning the processes of the public sector. I was lucky enough to enjoy attending public justice forums, hearing community concerns, meeting Elders and influential community leaders. This position gave me the inspiration and determination to continue working within the Aboriginal space into the future.

Experience gained:

• Community relations
• Systematic academic, grey paper and government research
• High level professional writing for journals and government Clearinghouses
• Corporate relations and public sector understanding
