Brittany Ayres

Newcastle NSW

Bachelor of Social Science / Bachelor of Laws (Honours), and Enabling Pathway: Yapug

Brittany is not afraid to speak up against disadvantage. After overcoming her own challenges to enrol in the University’s Yapug program, Brittany is committed to studying a Bachelor of Communications/Bachelor of Laws (Honours). Her determination is fuelled by her own life experience and a real desire to help others. For Brittany, being a leader means being unafraid of the truth, and being prepared to make both big and small changes to create equity and justice for all people. She is focused on the change she can make creating documentaries and films exposing and highlighting the injustices specifically relating to men. She also hopes to create change in the legal system for those ‘falling through the cracks’.
