Lonnie (Eylania) Naawi - National Partnerships Manager, Deadly Coders

Welcome Lonnie!

Deadly Coders is proud to welcome Eylania (Lonnie) Naawi to the team as our new National Partnerships Manager

Eylania joined us in early 2025, bringing a wealth of experience in Indigenous youth engagement, school and community partnerships, and education-based initiatives. A proud advocate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth, Eylania is passionate about creating culturaly safe, inclusive pathways that empower young people to pursue meaningful futures – especially in STEM.

" I've been working with Indigenous youth for a while now, and bringing my experience in youth engagement, school partnerships, and community education to Deadly Coders has really aligned with my deeper goal—to support mob in meaningful ways. I'm passionate about creating spaces where young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people feel seen, heard, and supported. Whether it's through education, technology, or just being someone they can count on, I want to help them find opportunities that spark their interests and support their dreams. For me, it's all about empowering the next generation and making a positive, lasting impact."
