Threats to global security are overlapping like never before. Climate change, health, food security, cybersecurity, economics—they're all interconnected, and cannot be meaningfully understood in isolation. Enter the La Trobe Centre for Global Security. brnw.ch/21x1Ktu

Honoured to be selected as a finalist in the ADM Women in Defence Awards, alongside an incredible group of women from @DefenceAust, industry, & academia. Most women and men I know in Defence are driven by a sense of purpose, of one to contribute to something greater than yourself. Leaving Defence can make it hard to find that same meaning elsewhere, but I’ve been fortunate to continue advocating for how Australia thinks about its national interests and evolving threats. It’s a privilege to contribute through media and academia to help inform public debate on the challenges we face in what may well be historic times. @NSC_ANU @UNSWCanberra
