For the past year, I have been involved with Women in Media’s WA Committee and it was an honour to curate the event “WA Media Change Makers”, held at the State Library of WA.
Western Australia's Media Change Makers
We hear from three women at the forefront of the evolution of WA’s media industry. All award winners in their own right and women who have embraced change to achieve success.
