Taryn Lee (Class of 2024) is building an impressive pathway in public policy, advocacy, and inclusion. After contributing to the Office for Youth’s Youth Advisory Group, Taryn has continued their work representing students with disability as a Department Officer at the ANU Students Association, while studying public policy and data analytics.

Their experience extends across organisations such as the University of Sydney, Women With Disabilities ACT, and Curtin University, with a strong focus on mental health and disability inclusion. Taryn also credits their Politics & Law studies with providing a foundation for understanding government systems and effective advocacy.

It’s inspiring to see Old Saints applying their education to create meaningful impact within their communities.
