Term expires: 2029

Background

I have lived in Kwinana my entire life, growing up and still residing in Orelia. I attended Calista Primary School before continuing my education at The King’s College in Wellard. My connection to Kwinana runs deep — my family has called this community home for generations. From local events to volunteering, I’ve always been proud to be part of a place built on resilience, diversity, and community spirit. Now, as an elected councillor, I’m honoured to give back to the area that shaped me and to represent the people and neighbourhoods that have always been home. 

Professional Experience

Before being elected to Council, I worked part-time at Woolworths Kwinana for three years while continuing my studies in Global Security at Murdoch University. My professional and academic experiences have strengthened my understanding of service, responsibility, and the importance of contributing to something bigger than myself. 

Over the past few years, I’ve been actively involved in a range of community initiatives, including helping to establish my school’s Environment Club and volunteering with the Kwinana Lions Club, where I continue to support local projects and fundraising efforts. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of teamwork, transparency, and taking the time to truly listen to people’s concerns. 

As the youngest councillors ever elected to the City of Kwinana, I bring a fresh and forward-thinking perspective to local government. My goal is to work collaboratively with residents, community groups, and fellow councillors to deliver practical outcomes and meaningful change. I am passionate about ensuring that every decision made reflects the voices of the people we represent — building bridges between generations and perspectives to create a stronger, more inclusive Kwinana for all.

Interests

I’m passionate about community safety, transparent decision-making, and ensuring that local government remains accountable to the people it serves. I’m also a strong advocate for accessibility and better support for individuals and families living with disabilities, including Hidden disabilities. I believe good governance begins with listening to residents and working collaboratively to find practical solutions. I’m also a strong supporter of youth involvement in local government and hope to inspire the next generation to take an active role in shaping Kwinana’s future. I strive to build bridges, not barriers — fostering understanding, unity, and collaboration across all parts of our diverse community.
