Ms Kimberley Marden

I am a proud Kokatha person who grew up in Port Augusta, South Australia and have lived in many remote locations across this beautiful state. My background is in Aboriginal Education/Community Engagement and as a Primary School Teacher. I am an unapologetic advocate for Aboriginal people, genuine student voice and culturally responsive pedagogy. I have a Bachelor in Education (primary) and plans for future study and research in the Aboriginal Education space. I have worked as an Aboriginal Services Engagement Officer, a project officer for Aboriginal Education Next Steps Initiative and currently for the Walk Along Initiative in the Aboriginal Directorate for the Department for Education.

I am also a mother to two incredibly funny individuals. I am a bit of a self-taught carpenter who loves spending the weekends in my woodwork shop building anything and everything. Having grown up in Port Augusta, I love any activity in or on the water, racing cars with my children, hiking and growing veggies.
