Kylie Nixon is one of Australia’s most experienced active transport professionals, but also a mum who encourages her kids to walk and ride and of course, worries about their safety.

She graduated from the Queensland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering, followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in Urban Regional Planning.

Kylie is an Associate Principal for the global consultancy Arup, where she’s worked for 28 years. Her career with Arup has taking her around the world including living in London for about six years and working as part of the team planning infrastructure for the 2021 London Olympic Games.

She then returned to her hometown of Brisbane. With Brisbane having been awarded the 2032 Olympics, Kylie is hoping to apply some of the experience and lessons she learned from London to help make the most of Brisbane’s unique Olympic opportunity.
