About Jordi
Jordina is a Northern Territory lawyer whose work in assisting communities to use law to increase their agency in decision-making that affects their lives has had national and global impact. She has spent more than six years working at grassroots level as a youth advocate and community leader and a further six years working with First Nations communities in the Northern Territory. Jordina’s diverse professional experience has given her unique insights into high-level decision-making within government, international institutions and Australia’s courts. “It’s my vision to combine this unique skillset with the world-leading theoretical learning and experiential training available at Columbia to become a transformative leader in the climate movement.”
