profile
Adjunct Fellow in Sustainability
Marcelle’s values revolve around equity, empowerment and healing the planet. These values have consistently inspired her professional and personal life and her drive to lift the bar on matters social and environmental.
With an early grounding in the social sciences, she previously managed projects in relation to health and wellbeing utilising an action research and community development approach to change. Upon completing a Master of Environmental Studies, she carried forward this approach to enable accountability and sustainability for socially responsible organisations. Her dissertation explored a practice-base for democratising stakeholder engagement by corporations; a practice-base also applicable to a wide range of organisations and situations.
As an active practitioner who facilitates, trains, and designs and delivers programs concerned with accountability and sustainability she would call herself a ‘pracademic’.
