MSc in Archaeological Science
Keble College, Oxford
2020 Charlie Perkins Scholar 
2020 Chevening Scholar

I grew up on the Sunshine Coast and am a great-granddaughter of Nellie Flynn of Rum Jungle in the Northern Territory.  Community and history is a part of who I am and very important to me.  I want to work for the benefit of Aboriginal Australia and help preserve our heritage.  
Dawn, a Woolwonga woman, has been accepted into a Masters of Archaeological Science at Keble College, Oxford.

She is currently in her research-based thesis year of a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science (Honours) from the University of New England.  At the same time, Dawn has worked as a Junior Operations Officer for the NSW Environment Protection Authority at the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.  

Dawn intends to focus her career on Indigenous genomic and bioethics in Australia.
