Samantha is passionate about improving education and literacy levels in Papua New Guinea’s rural communities. Prior to her commencing her Australia Award, Samantha worked as a high school teacher and before that, she was a language research intern working in rural communities.

She also believes that expanding her leadership skills will help her contribute to the development of education in Papua New Guinea more broadly.
