My Talks
TEDx Adelaide Women
​2012
In this short talk I argue that "Barbie is a Feminist" because she makes choices that are not always available to real life women and in doing so opens up opportunities for little girls (and not so little girls) to imagine themselves in roles that are not currently occupied by women.
Better Together Showcase
​2015
I was invited to present at the South Australian Government Better Together Showcase. I talk about the value of challenges and my top 10 tips for making them successful.
