Jade Poulton (she/her)

Hey! I’m Jade, I use she/her pronouns, and I am your 2025 Women’s Officer! I’m in my third year studying a Bachelor of Public Policy and Arts (Indigenous Studies and Economics – nearly finished!).

I’m so excited to support the Department this year, and continue to build on the supportive and inclusive community that our membership consists of. My role as Women’s Officer involves advocacy, community building and ensuring that the voice of collective is heard and listened to. In my (rare) free time you’ll find me laying on Kambri lawns, doing pilates, or sitting at Lab with an iced latte. Feminism has always been such an important facet of my life and I’m so happy to share this passion.

If you have any questions dm our instagram or email me at sa.womens@anu.edu.au
