Former Manager International Student Leadership and Ambassador Program | City of Sydney
Susana has over 20 years of experience in community development, policy and management both in Australia and in Hong Kong. Her special interests and expertise include leadership training, multicultural policy, community development, volunteer management and social inclusion. Susana was the Program Manager for the City of Sydney’s multi-award-winning International Student Leadership and Ambassador Program and a range of programs that promote social cohesion in the City of Sydney. In response to the rising racism in the communities, and the lack of safe spaces for people of colour in the workplace and in the community to talk about racism, Susana convenes the NSW Anti-Racism Working Group to work collaboratively with Local government, NGO colleagues to identify challenges and strategies to address both interpersonal racism and systemic racism. Susana was the Winner of 2021 Women’s Agenda Leadership Awards – Emerging Leader in the Public and University Sector category.
