I undertook an Arts/Law double degree because
I wanted to combine my passion for law with my
social conscience and desire to help my community.
In my Arts degree, I pursued Chinese studies and
International development. My Chinese studies
led me to study abroad in Nanjing in China, where
I was exposed to poverty-stricken environments.
Meanwhile, my International development subjects
showed me some of the solutions that were possible.
When I returned from studying abroad in China,
I wanted to take action to combat poverty. I came
up with the idea for Crepes for Change, which
was the first business in a group now known as
Society Melbourne.
My Arts degree has led to a fulfilling career in
ethical entrepreneurship, and informed my practice
