Meet our scholars

I am a part of the fantastic community that is changing the way Australia thinks about waste, resource recovery and the circular economy. I founded Reground on the simple, strong belief that ground coffee (a rich organic resource which Australia has historically sent to landfill) should never go to waste. By partnering with Melbourne's best cafes and coffee roasters, our team has established a thriving circular economy for coffee that directs it back into the soil at local gardens instead. As a leader, I believe that truly impactful organisations are made up of healthy, happy people who are able to bring their best and most authentic selves into their workplace. Together we are cultivating an environment where personal and professional growth can overlap and we support people to shine while doing the hard work that systemic and social change require. Authenticity, fairness and collaboration are the cornerstones of my philosophy at work - I am at my best when working in partnership with like-minded people to find solutions that other people miss, to problems that others may deem too hard.
