About
I grew up in Regional Victoria, and from an early age I saw how important community and connection are in shaping young people’s lives. That experience has guided my career and continues to drive my work today.I’m a qualified Youth Worker with more than a decade of experience in community development, youth services, and mentoring. Over the years, I’ve worked across both the not-for-profit sector and local government, leading programs that support young people to thrive and helping organisations design strategies that deliver real impact.For the past 10 years, my focus has been on community development — bringing people together, building programs with young people at the centre, and ensuring councils, schools, and organisations have the tools they need to succeed. I specialise in program design, evaluation, facilitation, and co-design processes that give young people a real voice.When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me outdoors — hiking, rock climbing, or exploring new trails. I’m also passionate about live music and footy, and love being part of the energy and community those experiences create.At the heart of everything I do is a simple goal: to help organisations build programs and opportunities where young people feel valued, supported, and confident to grow.
