Amanda Matulick
Communications Manager
Amanda Matulick started out with a Post-Graduate Diploma in Public Relations and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. However, these qualifications, and a background in the Not-for-Profit and Community sectors did absolutely nothing to prepare her for a new life in Art & Technology. An enthusiastic 'geek-in-learning', Amanda sometimes borrows other people's gadgets 'purely for research', but she always gives them back again. She thrives on travel and op-shopping and is currently enjoying a new-found love of old-found vinyl.
