Ling McDonald

Ling McDonald is a social entrepreneur with experience in the social and business sectors in Australia and Singapore.

Spurred by an eco-conscience and her experience rescuing a stray mama cat and her kittens, she founded Sustainable Pet to help tackle the waste and recycling problem and support companion animal rescue in Australia.

Pawsitive Impact is a service which helps small rescues boost their capacity for impact.

Before embarking on the entrepreneurial journey, Ling worked in international development and humanitarian aid. She began her career as a teacher, working with young people in and outside the classroom. This laid the groundwork for her continuing passion to help others achieve their potential and contribute to positive social change.

She has an arts degree, post-graduate qualifications in education, environment and social impact, and an eclectic string of continuous learning certifications.
