I have known Khadga since he arrived in Tasmania and it is a privilege to be asked onto the Board of Innovative Care. Khadga has achieved an impressive amount for his community, family and himself, but is always searching for more he can do.

This business, which will be culturally inclusive, is really needed and will thrive in his capable hands. I come from a teaching background in the UK, India and Tasmania, and I have coordinated Tasdec Global Learning Centre, now called “A Fairer World”.

I have also undertaken consultancy work and worked with a number of non-government organisations including the Migrant Resource Centre. I was a casual teacher at TasTAFE for many years in Community Studies and have delivered cross-cultural training sessions to service providers over many years. I remain actively involved in community.
