Lawyer, Speaker, Media professional, and founder of The Spark podcast . Petra Zlatevska is all these and much more, but social justice is what she is the most passionate about as it is deeply ingrained in her Macedonian genes and family history.


Since November, Petra has been a part of the University of NSW research team as a Legal Researcher and Media Strategy Advisor and is actively involved in the fight for the recognition of the First Nations and their inclusion in the Australian Constitution by contributing to the Uluru From The Heart Document.

Her podcast The Spark was launched in September, and as Petra says "The time has finally come for its birth, after 2 years of preparation". The purpose of the podcast is to help and encourage the listeners to take the road of personal growth and development, by offering honest and open conversations with people who have gone through some major obstacles in life.
