Research matters to me most when it stays close to people.
Alongside my academic work, I take part in student organising, research communities and volunteering. I care about the everyday work of listening, bringing people together and helping shared spaces grow with a little more care.
School of Media and Communication, RMIT University

I represent HDR students in conversations with the School and help keep communication moving between students and staff. I also bring students together across disciplines through events, seminars and shared initiatives.
RMIT Media & Communications HDR Club
July 2024 to present
I look after the club’s budgets and financial records, and help plan resources for events, seminars and student initiatives. It is quiet work behind the scenes, but it helps collective activities happen.

I am a member of the Digital Ethnography Research Centre, a research community I have been part of since beginning my PhD in Melbourne.
2026 to present
I help with the everyday life of the shop, including serving customers at the register, sorting donations, preparing and displaying items, supporting social media and helping with the shop’s visual presentation.
January 2024 to present
I correspond with girls attending secondary school in under-resourced communities in western China. Through our letters, I answer their questions and offer support as they navigate school and everyday life.
January 2021 to February 2021
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I translated psychological support illustrations and helped with Russian-language social media outreach. It was a small way of making care and public information more accessible across languages.
July 2019 to August 2019
I accompanied visiting students from Russia and Egypt during their study visit in China. I helped them navigate practical questions, unfamiliar surroundings and the many small things involved in living and studying in another country.
