Sarah’s parents came to Australia as refugees, so the work undertaken by the ASRC is very close to her heart.

In Sarah’s personal and professional life, she has maintained a demonstrated commitment to social justice and supporting underrepresented communities and is keen to carry this forward into board governance. She previously worked pro bono with Refugee Legal, co-coordinated a program that provides students from underrepresented schools with exposure to corporate environments and contributed to various diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives including co-founding a diversity network at her law firm.
