Melia is the youngest member of the bar in Queensland, and one of only two Aboriginal female barristers in Queensland. Hear how Melia took a journey from wanting to see the world as an air hostess, to how she fights a sense of "imposter syndrome" to become a barrister.
As a barrister in Cairns and Brisbane the cases she takes on are inspiring. This career journey is not only an example of the importance of finding a career, but also a fight that you are incredibly passionate about. We discuss how to find this kind of passion, and how to channel it into a career.
This was an incredibly powerful conversation that aside from the career journey, is one that I recommend anyone listens to. Meet one of our amazing people that well deserves 45 mins of our time to hear her story.
