Schweitzer Klassifikation
Jay Martin is an author who works on Whadjuk Noongar Boojar (Perth, Western Australia). After growing up in Melbourne, she travelled widely before moving to Perth, where she studied Indonesian and Vietnamese and worked in community development, and later Canberra, where she studied and worked in public policy. Her first book, Vodka and Apple Juice: Travels of an Undiplomatic Wife in Poland, won the Hungerford Award and was published by Fremantle Press in 2018. After three years in Warsaw, she swore she would never live anywhere cold, dark, or more than one direct flight from Perth again. When she was offered an international transfer to Alberta, Canada, of course she said yes. Jay lives in Fremantle with her husband and a cat with an unlikely name.
