Sayang is a highly skilled project manager, policy nerd and advocate. She is deeply conscious of her positionality as a non-Indigenous person existing on First Nations lands and is grateful for the guidance and wisdom shared by strong First Nations Peoples in both her professional and personal life.

Sayang is primarily responsible for undertaking advisory projects and supporting AIGI’s advocacy strategy. She collaborates closely with other AIGI staff to ensure the best outcomes for stakeholders.

Previously employed in the museum sector for the state government, she actively worked alongside First Nations colleagues to disrupt systems and develop innovative solutions, ensuring that First Nations voices were amplified and prioritised as the main decision-makers.

Sayang is passionate about gender equity for trans, culturally and racially marginalised women. She is the proud owner of a silly immune system that is often misguided in its judgement and clumsily thinks her body is a foe. In her free time, she passionately supports and engages with her trans POC (People of Colour) community, creating accessible environments and actively celebrating culture and trans lives.
