Biography

After two decades as an environmental advocate and community radio producer, 11 years as a social worker, I have moved into academia to promote and research the rights of people with disability to have a voice in the community media sector. Co-created projects I have worked on include:

* Only Human, a weekly disability rights and social justice program on community radio 4ZZZ 102.1fm. https://4zzz.org.au/program/only-human

* WWILD Sexual Violence Prevention Association series on consent "Get a Yes!" https://soundcloud.com/onlyhuman4zzz/sets/svam-get-a-yes-1

* RPH Australia (The Reading Radio Network) Regional Development Project Resources for Volunteers with disability and stations who want to be inclusive. https://www.rph.org.au/resources/radio-reading-resources-for-volunteers/

* The Community Media Training Organisation's Audio Ability Accessible Mentoring and Training Program, a 16 week blended learning run nationwide to upskill people with disability for community radio. https://cmto.org.au/latest/audioability/
