Mamiko has a background as an international aid professional specialising in governance, capacity development and peace-building. After completing a Masters Degree in International Relations in the US, she had been working globally including post-conflict developing countries, designing and implementing projects, policy development in the UN system, and as a bi-lateral donor on official development aid.

Mamiko started volunteering at SisterWorks as part of the UN Women program and currently is the Head of Programs. She is also an owner of a handcraft shop and is passionate about linking the two paths in a social enterprise environment and being able to contribute to the women SisterWorks support.

“Being part of Sisters’ journey obtaining jobs or starting a business and thriving in Australia, while advocating for change is an empowering experience for myself too."
