Amanda Place
Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health Head, Public Affairs
Parkville
I tell stories to a diverse audience - from donors and philanthropists to federal politicians and daily news reporters. I relentlessly champion the importance of brain research and the need to securely fund the 600 brilliant minds at the Florey.
I write for print, electronic publications, social media, special events and speeches with the aim to influence and educate.
In a past life, I was a press secretary to a health minister and a journalist for The Age. I am a proud mentor for the MEAA's Victorian Women in Media program.
