“As the 2020 Australian of the Year- Local Hero for Queensland and an Order of Australia (OAM) recipient in 2022 for the work I have done in the local community I feel I am best positioned to represent you, with my goal to contribute to a safer, more accessible, and closely connected community at the local council level. “

As a proud local business owner and actively involved in local surf lifesaving and swimming club committees, I understand the importance of community engagement.

As the founder of The Albatross Inclusive Surf Life Saving Nipper Program, my commitment to inclusiveness is evident, working to enhance accessibility for those with disabilities in beach activities.

Beyond personal interests, my focus is on enriching the Division 12 community for all families, fostering a sense of belonging.

With my own children attending Miami Primary School and participating in local activities, I am deeply rooted in the community's values and needs.

Your support is crucial in making our society a better place for everyone, and together, we can build a stronger, more unified community.
