Hi I’m Daizy, I’m based in Melbourne and I love inspiring people to be the best version of themselves. I’m a startup program manager at Deakin University and recently I founded the Australian Digital Job Accelerator to help ambitious women get more freelancing work. Alongside my co-founder I also help run a membership based community Australian South Asian Centre.
My curiosity about the world has led me to travel to Spain for study, Thailand where I served as an Australian Youth Ambassador for Development (AYAD) in Human Rights assisting refugees and asylum seekers, Tanzania where I co-founded Zana and India where I meditated in the Himalayas.
