Andi Nurul Ulum

Noe is a law graduate from Hasanuddin University, hails from the culturally rich Buginese community of Sengkang in South Sulawesi. Her academic focus on state and environmental law laid the foundation for her current work in climate-related law enforcement and sustainability.

Raised in a devout family and educated in an Islamic boarding school, Andi's upbringing blends strong religious and cultural values with a passion for civic engagement. Her commitment to community building began during university through initiatives like Makassar Berkebun and Pesta Komunitas Makassar, where she led collaborative events and learned the dynamics of grassroots organization and partnership building.

Through the Indonesia Young Leaders Programme, Andi integrates global insights with local wisdom, particularly in the realms of social enterprise, women’s empowerment, and circular economy. She hopes to strengthen Rappo Indonesia, the five-year-old social enterprise she co-founded, by learning new business models, impact measurement methods, and storytelling strategies common among New Zealand’s CSOs and NGOs.

Outside of work, she enjoys language learning (currently Korean), group karaoke, word games, and light outdoor workouts. Through this experience, Andi aims to elevate her leadership skills, refine Rappo’s strategy, and forge global networks to enhance the impact and sustainability of her initiatives.
