Dr Natasha Budd, Senior Associate

Natasha is a highly regarded senior facilitator at PF, currently leading one of our long-running cultural transformation initiatives. She combines deep human and team insights with a warm, grounded demeanour, enabling her to read and lead the room, and guide positive group outcomes.

Natasha’s approach to learning is experimental, research-backed and constructivist: where people learn through experience and interaction with their environment. Underpinning all her work is the desire to initiate lasting positive change through collaborative and creative processes. Her way of thinking and working is an application of her deep expertise in education, the arts, collaborative discovery, and community development.

Prior to joining the team, Natasha led a rich career at the intersection of education and the arts. Through her PhD, she investigated directorial and design strategies for working with non-actors and won the Phillip Parson’s Prize in 2015. She has held positions with Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), and most recently, University of Sunshine Coast (USC), where she won the Advance Award for Learning and Teaching in 2016. Her numerous titles have included lecturer, researcher, stage director, learning designer, writer and performer.

In her down time, Natasha is still actively involved in performance writing and production with children.
