Our Toloa (participants) of the Pasifika Philosophies Course

Introducing Toloa (participant) Hanna Jade Osborne, a Manager in Tetra Tech International Development’s Inclusion, Justice and Transformation Practice. She works extensively with Pacific partners and communities on international development programs, focusing on fostering respectful and collaborative approaches to shared development goals. With a background in gender equality, equity, and inclusion, Hanna is particularly interested in how religion and indigenous philosophies can advance gender equality and inclusion in the Pacific. Her work aligns with Pasifika peoples’ visions of a gender-equal and inclusive society, and she is committed to facilitating collaborative and enabling ways of working within the development sector. Originally from South Australia, Hanna’s personal connection to the ocean and coastal landscapes further informs her interest in Pasifika philosophies and her ongoing exploration of her relationship with the ocean
