Summary
I am a thinker. I am a refugee, exile, experienced Government worker, manager and teacher. I am an advocate for those who are rendered mute by the cruelty of failing leaders and systems. I am an incredibly hard worker. I am looking to return to the Australian National University to study in the Master of Middle Eastern and Central Asian Students course. I hope to use the skills and knowledge I gain in this course to lead change in Australia and the world.
