2026 Speaker's Profile

Sarah Gideon

Journalist

Human Resources Online

Sarah joined the Human Resources Online team as a Journalist in November 2023. As a Curtin University graduate, she is an adaptive and creative learner, and comes to the team with a great mix of experience in event operations, social media, and podcast & video editing.

Prior to this, Sarah worked for an events company, but the adrenaline of events could never match her burning passion for writing.

In her free time, you will find her saying that she has no plans but by the end of the day, her extrovertedness will take over and you will find her hanging out with friends and family. If not, you will find her tucked in bed, and always ready for the next day to produce content that will grab eyeballs.
