🏆 Congratulations to Shaun Christie-David for his well-deserved win at last week’s 2024 UTS Alumni Awards!

In 2020, he created Plate it Forward, which provides 2,000 restaurant-quality meals each week to those facing food insecurity, as well as training and employment opportunities for members of these communities. Additionally, in partnership with the Australian Federal Government, he developed the Aboriginal Health Television Network, an in-language, culturally appropriate platform that aims to improve health outcomes for Aboriginal communities and First Nations people. We can’t wait to see what he achieves in the future! Learn more about Shaun: https://lnkd.in/gisuA6XU #NotForProfit #AboriginalHealth #UTSAlumni
