AGGREGATE: NEWS & EVENTS
Introducing Steve, Science Communications Coordinator
Based at Murdoch University, he will focus on website content, social media, news and events, while also strengthening relationships with industry people and key organisations.
Steve brings with him a wealth of experience in website management and internal communications across various portfolios including the former Department of Primary Industries in Victoria (now Agriculture) and Clean Energy Council. Previous roles in sports administration, sports journalism, small business and mental health help bring a broad and outwardly focussed perspective to the SoilsWest communications role.
