First published in 2003, Eco Voice is your go-to publication for sustainability news in Australia. Eco Voice prides itself as an independent news platform with a clear focus on sustainability, with articles coming from a diverse range of contributors – all levels of government, corporations, not-for-profits, community groups, small to medium sized businesses, universities, research organisations, together with input from international sources. Eco Voice values community, conservation and commerce. Eco Voice is a media partner of the prestigious Australian Banksia Sustainability Awards – The Peak Sustainability Awards.

3. Where do you see your business in 10 years’ time?

Eco Voice is enjoying a growing audience.
10 years from now I hope that Eco Voice is being read in many countries around the world.

4. How has studying at RMIT prepared you to run your business?

Education is very important. Having an MBA from RMIT has provided me with many skills that have been useful in my career and with publishing Eco Voice. Sustainability calls for collaboration and inclusivity and this was encouraged at RMIT. 

5. What advice would you have offered yourself when you first started your business?

Networking is very important in business. So, network as much as you can, particularly when you first start a business.
