Maya Ivanovic, Palin Communications

Whether for clients or for her young peers, Maya Ivanovic gives it her all.

After graduating from the University of New South Wales, she quickly secured a role as an account executive at Palin Communications, raising awareness for nonprofits, as well as conducting product launches, disease awareness campaigns, medicine registrations/reimbursements and social media campaigns. 

She joined the Public Relations Institute of Australia’ NSW Young Guns—a subcommittee for up-and-coming practitioners and students—which she has chaired since March 2019. Under her leadership, the group has driven industry engagement and education, connecting young professionals and fostering relationships with senior industry leaders.

She led the October 2019 relaunch of PRIA’s NSW mentoring program, including a revised format, which boasts 32 participants.
