Davydd moved to Melbourne to study in 1993 and since that time has lived or worked in the City of Melbourne.
Davydd worked as a school teacher for many years and remains passionate about the power of education to transform lives and connect communities.
After leaving teaching he worked as a policy advisor in both education and health with a particular focus on community health provision, men’s health and mental health. Addressing the impact of loneliness, particularly in rapidly transforming urban communities, is another of Davydd’s key interests.
