Content Marketing Director
Youna has always been a passionate advocate for science and innovation - and the ultimate translator too.
After achieving a perfect score in VCE Biology, she went on to graduate from The University of Melbourne with a dual degree in Genetics and Psychology. Opting out of a traditional lab career (while her titrations were impressive, her data analysis skills were not) Youna has found her true calling in the art of wordsmithing, skilfully bridging the gap between science and storytelling.
Youna places people at the heart of every narrative, ensuring that the essence of scientific discovery is always linked to human need and understanding. Her eagerness to unravel complex concepts, collaboratively, helps to transform ambitious initiatives into tangible results.
Youna is currently undertaking postgraduate studies in Sleep Medicine, which fuels her fascination with how science intersects with human well-being. Her work experience is varied, including dedicated time as a women's health coach, empowering her to deliver impactful and relevant communications solutions for H^CK clients.
As a teen, Youna dreamed of working as a journalist for New Scientist magazine. Today, her life is its own kind of experimental chaos, as a Mum to two teenagers and wrangling a troupe of kelpies at home.
