Episode Notes

Sarah Moran is a self-described ‘passionate super nerd’. Sarah started her career in a ‘dream role’ doing working experience on Triple J’s breakfast show with Adam Spencer and Wil Anderson, before going on to study journalism at QUT. Sarah is an early adopter of new technology and worked in a range of digital communications and marketing roles including Virgin Blue (now Virgin Australia), Tourism Queensland and Tourism Victoria. She currently works as Communications Manager at QUT Creative Enterprise.

She’s also a founder of Girl Geek Academy - organising workshops, courses, hackathons and makerfests, all designed to encourage women to develop technology skills.

Our chat covers how place has influenced Sarah’s career (and vice versa), the role of side projects, job titles, finding your tribe or ‘scenius’, and her approach to career planning.
