Speakers

Fiona’s background includes community development, creative and visual arts, place making, early years, education, bushfire recovery/preparedness, community houses, community gardens and more.

Having worked within a variety of organisations/agencies and local governments she has a broad understanding of the diversity of organisational structures. She loves nothing more than mapping, sense making, story-telling and data that discovers opportunities for change. 

Whether as a project worker and facilitator, graphic harvester or community member, contributing to community for making great places and participating in community led projects that are sustainable are her focus. She loves nothing more than watching people and projects grow and uses creative arts, ABCD and strengths based practices as platforms for discovering and exploring community needs.

Supporting our young people to explore their own place within community is something she sees as particularly important. Everyone deserves to feel safe and be included and we can build relationships and have fun while we do it.
