Ever the creative tinkerer, Jason van Genderen’s career has traversed the advertising and media industries right through to being both the director and subject of the 2022 theatrical documentary ‘Everybody’s Oma.’
It was this end journey that had the most impactful resonance on Jason, flipping his career for the role of Co-Carer with Megan and adapting to life inside the heart of a story that had captured the world’s media eye.
A self-confessed obsessive rule breaker, he’s presented workshops at festivals for over a decade and has mentored teams within Apple, Sony, Nokia, Nikon, Google, 7West Media and Newscorp as well.
From her youth coaching and umpiring on the netball courts to volunteering in Ethiopia as a young adult, to becoming a step-mum, to finding motherhood herself, right through to reverse-parenting Oma (her mother-in-law) through dementia… Megan van Genderen has always leant-in to nurture those surrounding her.
She is also a Clinical Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine, and describes herself as a ‘ferd’ (food-nerd). This passion helps her share the joy of meaningful mealtimes, from food preparation and cooking right through to licking the plate!
