As a child I always wanted to help. I enjoyed helping people in and around my community and have continued volunteering throughout my adult life. I have been a volunteer firefighter with the CFA since 1993. An encouraging comment during an event where I was providing first aid led me to a career change into Nursing. I first attended TAFE and completed an Advanced Diploma and now after 10 years as an Enrolled Nurse have undertaken a Bachelor of Nursing.

Raised in a small Aboriginal community in New South Wales, my upbringing provided me with firsthand insights into the healthcare challenges Indigenous peoples face. Witnessing my sister and father navigate the complexities of accessing medical care in remote areas due to a genetic disease deeply impacted me. With a background in military service and exploration, including a stint in the Navy and an expedition to Antarctica, I developed invaluable leadership, teamwork, and crisis management skills.
