Just over three years ago, I was offered my current role as Manager, Fundraising Communications and Story Centre at CCS. I am confident the post-grad certificate was an important factor in that opportunity. 

In my role, I lead the strategic direction of our in-house storytelling program, ensuring that the voices and experiences we share reflect the diversity and impact of our work helping people affected by cancer. I collaborate closely with departments across the organization to identify compelling narratives that inspire people to change the future of cancer. I spend a lot of time thinking about ethical storytelling practices and how to translate this into best practices for how we work with people’s stories. We take a storyteller-centric approach to everything we do, and a key part of my work involves mentoring team members and fostering a culture of care and creativity in how we approach stories.
