Today I feel incredibly honoured, humbled & privileged to have received a medal of order, #OAM, in the Order of Australia honours.
Recognition like this takes a village, and is only possible due to the incredible tribe of people I have had around me both at home and work.
So it’s been a while since I tweeted and there has been lots of deep thinking…. but I have some exciting news to share! linkedin.com/posts/donna-mar…

Take some time today to check in with a friend or loved one. Go below the surface. How are they feeling in their 💛?
