Writing

Since 2017, I have poured my heart and focus into creating valuable content across various platforms. I have been writing articles, essays, books and developing lessons and strategies to help educate people in my community, young people in particular.

I am committed to documenting and exploring issues surrounding youth unemployment, education, creativity and social purpose; and am actively working on sharing my ideas and research across different mediums.

Mentoring

Through social enterprise The Mentorship, I provide practical training and career mentoring to graduates as they transition from education into the professional workforce.

Unemployment and underemployment are issues that significantly affect young Australians, and my goal is to help bridge the gaps across sectors that leave them feeling lost and worried about the future. I am constantly working to ensure The Mentorship is an organisation which powers creative practice and inspires creative thinking, which I believe is the key to helping young people thrive in our ever-changing social, cultural and economical landscape.

Strategy

As a media and marketing consultant, I have been collaborating with various small businesses over the last few years. I’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful non-profit organisations who share my vision of harnessing creativity to affect positive social change on a local and global scale.

Through strategic development, content creation, soft-skill training and resource support, I am passionate about building meaningful partnerships that help achieve clarity, growth and fulfilment for people and their companies.

Speaking

Freelancing as a workshop trainer and facilitator has strengthened my belief in the power of spoken words and auditory storytelling as a way to encourage people into positive action.

In 2020, I launched the Dear Future Boss podcast to further explore the challenges that young people face after their studies, particularly those in fields where there are no clear job outcomes, stability or support. Hosting the series has given me another effective avenue to analyse the future of work for Millennials and Generation Z, helping open up conversations on how we can better harness our collective skills and resources for the benefit of the next generation.

Eira is such a wonderful mentor and teacher. She is such a selfless person and has such a positive nature. She is always encouraging individuals that it is possible to turn a passion into a career. It was with Eira’s mentoring that helped me get a job in the media field. She is always dedicated to helping people and is always there for you when you need her. I’m so lucky to have Eira as a mentor and I wouldn’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for her mentorship.

Eira has been helping since I graduated from university and I cannot thank her enough. She and The Mentorship have opened my eye to my strength as a graduate. The support she has given me by offering a number of services has been a godsend because I have been able to grow my knowledge and skills. She also brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that she shares with each student/graduate.

As a mentor, Eira is thoughtful, observant and kind-hearted. She always has time to listen and gives insightful feedback that helps make any troubles or concerns lighter. From our very first meeting, we clicked as two creative souls looking to share our art and experiences. Eira is a joy to work with, she is an amazing leader that always welcomes ideas from others and jumps at the opportunity to create new and exciting things.

I would not be where I am today without Eira’s support and care. She has helped shape me into the person I am and I can’t wait to continue working with her and paying that kindness and experience forward to others.

Eira was an incredible support to me while I was in The Mentorship program. She always encouraged me to explore all my passions, and helped me find direction in my career during the tricky and uncertain transition from university to the workforce. Her passion for people and tireless work ethic are inspirational, and I try to emulate that in my current job too!
