Adelaide’s expertise also extends to her role as an Associate Lecturer in entrepreneurship at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, where she taught classes on start-up management, venture growth, and innovation. Moreover, she co-founded an innovative health and well-being solution for remote workforces, enabling organizations to offer sustainable alternative work environments.

Throughout her career, Adelaide has exemplified an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Her early-career experiences as a Wildlife Warrior laid the foundation for her dedication to conservation and environmental initiatives.

Adelaide’s unique ability to combine critical thinking, strategic agility, and a people-focused work ethic enables her to provide effective solutions. Her ultimate goal is to empower socially minded entrepreneurs to thrive and create meaningful impacts. As she often emphasizes, “leader” is a noun, but “leadership” is an action verb.
