Lisa empowers young Indigenous people through system disruption, capacity building, and ecosystem development. She is passionate about using systems thinking, Indigenous knowledge and co-design principles to address complex problems. As co-founder of Yuludarla Karulbo, a social enterprise, Lisa collaborates with Indigenous communities to provide interactive cultural workshops for schools and businesses. These workshops help embed cultural capability in workplaces and offer opportunities for young Indigenous facilitators to reconnect with their heritage, earn income, and improve their confidence.
Lisa has experience in the Indigenous Affairs space across government and community settings spanning the fields of economic development, community development, employment, and education. Her recent focus involves cross-government design, implementation, and monitoring of comprehensive strategic Indigenous policies, including the Australian Government’s “Closing the Gap” initiative.
