Laura Carew

A qualified communication specialist with a Bachelors Degree in International Communication, I am currently working as a Development Coordinator in The University of Queensland's International Development unit. Previously I was working in Phnom Penh at the Cambodian Center for Independent Media as a Communications and Public Relations Advisor. I have seven years of experience working within the public and NGO sectors, focusing on policy work in the area of international health, and developing media and communication materials as a Communication Officer at the Department of Defence and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research. I have developed a strong skill set that includes excellent communication skills, the ability to build and maintain relationships at all levels, strong teamwork capabilities and the ability to meet demanding deadlines. I am motivated with great initiative and I am able to adapt to new situations with ease. I am looking to gain further and more varied experience in the communication and media field, and to take on an exciting and challenging role in an international organisation focused on development.
