Fresh from state and city governments in London, Melbourne and Sydney, I arrived in Berlin with a PhD scholarship to research individuals reimagining and remaking the city. Over the years that followed in Europe I forged a path from public policy to innovation consulting to transdisciplinary research.

My research earned awards in Australia and Germany, I worked with global businesses and organisations. At the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence with over 800 scientists, I was the only Australian. I returned to Australia after over decade in Germany and delivered national artificial intelligence strategy at CSIRO.

Changing careers, re-entering the workforce after maternity and pursuing performance excellence was always a huge challenge. Over the years I navigated a path through upskilling and systematising continuous learning, whilst being the primary carer of three children and trying to develop the language of the country I lived.

People would ask me to help them find or understand key ideas or practices to improve their performance and skills adaptability. But there wasn’t a go-to source for information that I could recommend.

In our age of information abundance, it should be easy and affordable to maintain and develop knowledge and skills for lifelong learning. Edaith is the bridge I wish I had, and a solution for my ambitious colleagues who wanted to continue to uplift their working methods, quality and contributions through independent learning. 

Like the innovators of my PhD research, it's my reimagining and remaking of ways to discover all-important concepts and know-how. To continue learning and achieve our goals at any career or life stage. So that we can be enabled for anything on our minds today and future ready.
