With over 15 years of advancement experience, Fabienne Vonarburg joined Curtin University in late 2018 to lead the fundraising and engagement efforts of the Faculty of Health Sciences. Since then, she has been instrumental in creating a culture of philanthropy, underpinned by strong relationship building principles. This has led to a five-fold increase in donations for research, scholarships, and student projects within the faculty. Prior to this, Vonarburg was the general manager of a hospital-based foundation in Western Australia, and worked for nearly a decade in development and alumni relations at The University of Western Australia. With a background in health administration in Australia and community development in Switzerland, she has the skills and experience to make fundraising an enjoyable yet humbling experience.
