This podcast features Dr. Nelia Hyndman-Rizk. Nelia is a Senior Lecturer in Intercultural Management within the School of Business at UNSW, Canberra. Nelia transitioned from a stay-at-home Mum to an academic and will share her journey of progressing her career while raising a family and pursuing Postgraduate studies in our conversation. She’s been successful in a lot of different projects, even growing grapes for local wineries, and managing her agricultural side-business. But her journey of starting university at a more mature age with a family and all its responsibilities is an example of a true fighting spirit. She takes us through her own personal and professional development journey that led to her passion to empower others. Nelia’s led many women to achieve their higher degrees. Her research focuses on multiculturalism, gender, and women's empowerment through Higher Education. A very interesting privilege to get to understand her journey. Enjoy.
