Netta Finney
Communications Officer, NSS
Qualifications: Currently studying a Master of Communication (Journalism) Deakin University; Bachelor of Commerce (Marketing) Griffith University 1995.
Why did you join the program?: I feel passionately about empowering Indigenous women, especially young mums, to be the most deadly mums ever and to raise awesome little bubs. I would be honoured to be a witness to their journeys and to support them to use their voices to tell their own stories and create enduring legacies for their own descendants.
Fun Facts:
My favourite food: Mexican and Thai (but must be vegetarian); any type of cake
My favourite past time: Playing and hanging out with my kids
Favourite movie: Black Panther; Captain Marvel; The Grand Budapest Hotel; Anything with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly (they are so ridiculous that they always make me laugh)
Favourite book: A Mother’s Story by Rosie Batty (I met her and she is amazing); Why does he do that? By Lundy Bancroft
Favourite holiday: Travelling around Europe and the UK (I so want to go back when I can afford it)
Favourite moment as a mother: Being able to build a fabulous life for myself and my children after escaping domestic violence and role modelling strength, independence and resilience. Showing them that we all deserve to be treated with love, kindness and respect.
