Ella Syme
Project Officer (Research and Resources)
Ella Syme was born and raised on Arrernte country and currently resides in Naarm (Melbourne).
Ella holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne, where she completed a double major in Anthropology and History (honours). Throughout her university studies, Ella was particularly drawn to research on Indigenous histories, cultural heritage studies and issues of social justice, gender and race.
Her passion for issues of social justice and equality, combined with her upbringing in Mparntwe, developed her desire to work within an organisation inciting positive change.
As a project officer at AIGI, Ella is part of a team updating the Indigenous Governance Toolkit where she has been able to explore her passion for writing and research that centres Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives.
Before joining AIGI, Ella worked as a writer and content creator. She particularly enjoyed writing on human rights, women’s rights and all things history related.
