After six years in sales, Donna traded her telephone for a backpack and spent the next three years travelling throughout Africa, America and Europe before returning to Australia and full time study at Monash University.

Her love of travel remained strong and after completing degrees in Business and Marketing, Donna spent the next nine years working in communications for some of Australia's biggest travel brands.

A Masters of Marketing followed and now Donna is the Senior Manager Product Marketing for Whereis Maps, the digital mapping arm of Sensis Pty. Ltd.
Ironically for someone with no sense of direction or ability to actually read a map, Donna truly believes that location is the new black and loves bringing the Whereis Maps story to life.

A Hatha yoga teacher also, Donna can often be found searching for the balance between corporate life and enlightenment!

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations).
