My Story
I’m Aunty Ann, a proud Aboriginal woman, known to our jarjums an Aunty sista, sista girl, great aunty and cousin with deep family ties to the Wulli Wulli (north-west) and Kooma (south-west) regions of Queensland. I serve as the Cultural Practice Advisor for DCC Industry Group. My career began as a youth worker, a role that uncovered my passion for supporting the cultural identity of young people.
​
Working at DCC has been both challenging and incredibly fulfilling, becoming an integral part of my life that I couldn’t imagine replacing with any other vocation. In my role, I have the honour of standing alongside young people, supporting them as they navigate their diverse life journeys.
