About
Naomi Edwards is a passionate disrupter of institutions. Inspired by her lived-experiences of a young woman negotiating the contested terrain of decision-making circles, she is currently undertaking a Phd in the cultures and conflicts of coastal professionals at Griffith University. She collects boards and committees, and is a highly-regarded representative among surf, coastal and natural resource management circles, from the grassroots of her home town on the Gold Coast to Australia-wide. She holds degrees and post-graduate studies in environmental science, humanities and international community development, and has cross-sectoral professional experience in research, non-for-profit and for-profit enterprises. She is also a leadership for sustainability fellow from the United Nations University, and in 2016 was awarded as a National Young Landcare champion and ambassador for her commitment to natural resource management, and creative community and youth leadership.
