Johanna joined Volunteering Victoria in February 2025 supporting the day-to-day organisation needs through Finance, People & Culture, Business Systems and office operations. Johanna has many years’ experience working across multiple functional areas of business operations and is deeply committed to fostering a workplace where people feel safe and have a sense of belonging. Johanna has a diploma in Counselling and is an accredited Mental Health First Aider. Her first volunteer experience saw her travel back home to the Philippines in November 2013 to help support an interim recovery plan after Typhoon Haiyan caused catastrophic damage in the Visayas region. It was a very emotional and humbling experience and was the motivation that led her in search of a career in the NFP space. Johanna loves to travel overseas and explore the unique street food traditions of different parts of the world. If she’s not travelling (and eating), she is spending lots of time with her two very comical and lazy English bulldogs.
