About Nola Turner-Jensen
Nola Turner-Jensen is a proud Wiradjuri woman from the river country of Central West New South Wales. She also honours her Irish and English heritage from her father’s side.
For the past 20 years, Nola has called the region north of Brisbane home. A trained social worker, she has dedicated much of her career to supporting Indigenous youth and strengthening community connections.
A mother of five, Nola is also a trailblazer in the world of Indigenous children's education. She founded Australia’s first Indigenous-focused children’s company—still the only one of its kind in Queensland—which produces culturally grounded educational resources and toys that reflect and celebrate First Nations perspectives.
Today, Nola’s passions include bush foods and related industries, the development of culturally relevant educational materials, and writing a new series of Indigenous adventure stories for young readers.
