Youth Advisory Council Member
US Consulate General Sydney
March 2022 to March 2024
The Youth Advisory Council Sydney is a group of people drawn from a range of different backgrounds and experiences who meet regularly with the U.S. Consul General to discuss pertinent issues and share their thoughts on the future of U.S. - Australia relations.
In my time collaborating with the US Consulate General in Sydney, I organised their involvement in friendly series involving Australian National Sides - the Matildas and Pararoos - and United States National Sides - the US Women’s National Football Team, and US Cerebral Palsy National Football Team. I also advised on general public diplomacy programming.

General Coordinator
Asian Football Confederation (AFC)
December 2016 - March 2024
The General Coordinator is a locally appointed AFC represenative responsible for the event delivery of international football matches involving Asian national or club teams who are participating in AFC competitions.
In this capacity, I was required to interface with and provide leadership to several distinct cross-cultural stakeholder groups - the traveling AFC delegation, Home Team, Away Team, Club Operations, Venue Operations, and Media Operations - to ensure regulatory compliance, as well as safe and successful deliveries of international football matches.
Attendances ranged from 1,000 to 20,000 depending on the teams involved, and were played in a range of premium sporting venues across Australia.

Young Australians in International Affairs is a not-for-profit organisation committed to engaging and supporting the development of the next generation of Australian leaders in international contexts.

Community Visitor’s Scheme
Australian Red Cross
January 2015 - December 2018
The Community Visitor’s Scheme is an initiative of the Australian Government, with volunteers visiting older people who receive government subsidised aged care/home care, and are socially isolated.
Over the 4 years I was involved in the scheme, I undertook weekly to fortnightly visits to spend time and talk with residents in a local aged care home.
