Committee of Management (CoM)

Tina Brunet (Founder/CEO)
Tina founded Full Circle in 2020 after years of volunteering her time in various community groups and organisations. Born in India, Tina has always felt grateful to be raised in Australia and have access to the freedom and choices that would otherwise not be available to her. Tina believes that education is something that once given, cannot be taken away. Full circle was created to provide opportunities to girls who would otherwise not have access to rise above others due to poverty, caste and social norms.

Livleen Singh (Chair)
Helping people to be their best is a driving factor in Livleen’s life. Growing up as a girl of colour in a western community, Livleen allowed negativity to overpower her, leading to insecurities and lack of confidence. She realises now that her differences are her strengths. Livleen has a vision to empower young girls and women to be strong in their own unique selves and unafraid to stand up for their beliefs and values. She believes that education is empowerment and this will lead to them being able to break their own barriers as they strive for freedom and growth.

Sheena Saigal (Board Member)
Sheena began her life and career in India. Her family had a military background, which exposed her to many underprivileged towns in the eastern part of India. This motivated her to work in and contribute within a social enterprise that would enable women to earn their income so they consistently invest back into their families and send their girls to school to continue educating their generations to come. Sheena is a strong believer in educating our boys and men and empowering our girls and women. She believes that every woman and girl in the world has the potential to create change. This can be achieved through access to knowledge, skills, leadership training and resources to build awareness of their right to demand a fair, just and equal world in which they are able to thrive.

Sandra Zivcic (Board Member)
Sandra is a lawyer who’s spent 20 years working in financial services in Australia. A child of migrant parents who spoke no English, she understands the power that comes from a good education, strong female role models, and what can happen when a young woman seizes an opportunity. Sandra believes that every young woman, no matter where she lives, deserves the right to determine her own future and to realise her full potential.

As an Advisory Member, he will support our mission by offering insights into market trends, mentoring our leadership team, and leveraging his expertise to shape initiatives that address pressing community challenges.

“Making an impact, whether small or large, is something that I have always been passionate about, both at a personal and professional level. The work that Full Circle does is very important to the welfare of others and shines a light on issues that aren’t addressed or highlighted more frequently. I hope that I can provide value to the already amazing and valuable contribution the business provides to the communities they engage with.”
Amin’s passion for social good and strategic insight will be a tremendous asset as we continue our work empowering communities and tackling systemic issues.

Her commitment to social change and her belief in the power of community-led vision make her a powerful addition to our Advisory Group.

“I have long been inspired by the work of Full Circle, and this was multiplied when I had the opportunity to visit Future Hope and work with the school to assist with developing the pilot leadership program. I feel a strong connection to the work that is being done there and would like to assist in any way I can to bring this important vision to life.”

Michelle brings a powerful blend of technical expertise in data and technology, a career-long dedication to justice, equity, and empathy, and a deep personal connection to Full Circle’s mission.

Visiting Future Hope with Tina in 2024 and engaging with students, teaching staff, and the school leadership was an incredibly powerful experience.
