Danie Zappa (née Clarke) is a proud Noongar Wardandi woman. She studied a Bachelor of Social Science - Indigenous services at ECU, where she was surrounded by very strong and inspirational Indigenous women. It was here she grew passionate about fully understanding and appreciating her Indigenous culture and history, and became inspired to share this passion and knowledge with her wider community.

Danie has had a successful 17-year career in the Australian Public Service, where she has experience in Indigenous Cultural Awareness Facilitating, Indigenous Mentoring, Technical Training, NAIDOC Coordinator, Leadership Roles and Customer Service. She has a Certificate IV in Government & Certificate IV in Customer Contact, and has gained an extensive array of in-house training over the years. Her passion lies in assisting organisations and businesses to attract and retain Indigenous procurement, whilst ensuring that cultural responsibilities and organisational policies can exist alongside one another. Danie has experience in establishing support mechanisms for Indigenous employees within the workplace, and creating a culture where workers feel safe and empowered enough to use these mechanisms. She is passionate about empowering Indigenous people and working towards continuing to close the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
