Lizzy Kuoth

Whimsical, wise and courageous, Lizzy is a woman to watch and at 30 years of age, has already lived a very full life. As a child, Lizzy fled war-torn South Sudan with her grandmother and three younger brothers, spending four years in Egypt before arriving in Melbourne in 2005. Fast-forward 16 years, and Lizzy is carving out her own niche at the intersection of economics (which she is currently studying), youth development, diversity and inclusion. As a Commissioner, Lizzy brings an important voice, cross-cultural wisdom and powerful stories to inspire others. When she isn't at work, Lizzy is either out for a hike or grabbing a coffee with a mate.
