Chemistry Honours
2024
I'm currently completing my Industry Honours project with Jupiter Ionics. My project aims to help make storing ammonia safer. I'm conducting lab experiments and a techno-economic analysis to evaluate whether a new type of material is viable to commercialise. Jupiter Ionics is a deeptech spin-out from the research at Monash University that is decarbonising the production of ammonia for fertilisers and the broader ammonia economy for its use as an energy vector.

The firm invests in ~1% of more than 60,000 founders annually and invests from pre-seed and up to series C. I help the Antler Australia team to organise and run entrepreneurship masterclasses and events and manage resources and platforms which enable the most ambitious founders to make progress inevitable. I supported founders to build complementary co-founder teams, validating business models and unlocking networks across our local and global platform for scale. My work spreads across operations in our founder's community platform, our investment due diligence processes and portfolio function. Being part of a small, dynamic team, I have also been involved in managing the Melbourne community and supporting the People and Culture team alongside my role in business operations.

Ecosystem Mapping

The Centre for Civic Innovation is the national Australian body for empowering people-led change. We encourage active citizens who want to make an impact in their communities by providing resources, guidance and connecting with the right people and funding to help them maximise their social and economic impact. To achieve this goal, I helped build a national Civic Innovation Ecosystem Map which supports civic innovators to navigate the ecosystem and find the right resources. CCI helps inspiring innovators to develop their ideas and connects them with the mentorship, network and resources they need to create a positive difference in our communities.

Social Enterprise Incubator Program
2021 - 2021
Enactus is a global community of student, academic and business leaders committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world. Each Enactus branch across universities around the world not only promotes entrepreneurship as a means of creating social impact but also takes initiative by establishing student-led social enterprises. We see possibilities, take action and enable progress. At Enactus Melbourne, I was a Research and Development officer, empowering students to take lead and create social impact through social entrepreneurship. I designed and implemented our first in-house incubator program to attract innovative ideas and then enable these disruptive ideas to turn into reality as a social enterprise. To achieve this goal, our program included structured content, workshops and events to spark innovation and encourage ideas from students all across the University of Melbourne, believing in the creative potential of every individual and also what these individuals can achieve together.

I am working with the Future Minds Network and the new president and team of the Melbourne High School branch to continue to organise social entrepreneurship events for high school students. This year, we are working on a virtual hackathon based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We hope to provide opportunities for the high school students to learn from industry professionals and to expand their network for an early start into the entrepreneurship field. Future Minds Network (FMN) is an innovative social enterprise that helps young Australians launch social business. We run intensive entrepreneurship programs for high-performing teenage entrepreneurs - aka Teenpreneurs - who want to launch social business. With various chapters in school across Australia, FMN is the central hub for young social entrepreneurs. In the Melbourne High Chapter, we work under the guidance of FMN HQ to help raise awareness of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals and foster innovation in the student community.

The Future Minds Network is a social youth initiative that aims to bring together students from across the globe to discuss the kind of future we want to create. My role in Future Minds involves organizing and managing interschool events between high schools in Melbourne. I am working with peers across different schools and industry professionals from different sectors including government, not-for-profits and individuals to bring together an impactful event. I lead a group of peers in my school to plan the event and design the context and format of the competition. The event aims at promoting awareness in global issues and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. We work towards this goal in an interactive way by implementing a hackathon that is both fun and challenging for the participants.
