“If you just reach out, talk to anyone around you who might be able to help and support, reach out to the uni, and there is support out there. And if I can do it, anyone can do it.”



In this episode we welcome Jo Burge as she reflects on her unconventional path to study, starting with a challenging high school experience, progressing through TAFE diplomas, and finding passion in community service roles.
