About me
I am passionate about reducing the justice-involvement of South Sudanese young people in the Youth Justice System. I am an Associate Research Fellow and PhD Candidate at the Alfred Deakin Institute at Deakin University, as well as a Research Project Manager at Afri-Aus Care Inc. My research focuses on the post-settlement challenges faced by African Australians, particularly their interactions with the justice system. I am especially interested in youth violence, risk and protective factors for offending, and issues affecting culturally and linguistically diverse young people.
I hold both an undergraduate and an honours degree in Project Management from RMIT University. I am a competitive person who loves playing football, which is partly why I am so passionate about the Black Rhinos
"The fellowship seemed like the perfect fit for me and where I am in my life. I am at the beginning of a lifelong social change mission, and there is no better way to challenge my limits and set a vision for the future of my community in Australia."
