MY JOURNEY

HOW IT All STARTED

01

Three women smiling indoors in front of a window, two standing and one sitting, with casual and school attire.

It started at the Neighbourhood Centre in Bathurst, coordinating youth programs at 15. Over the next two years I ran four youth initiatives reaching 100+ young people aged 12–25, including a Youth Volunteer Program that logged 350+ hours of hands-on community service. That's where I found the for-purpose sector, or it found me, and I've never really wanted to work anywhere else.

EXPLORING PASSIONS

At 16 I went to Nepal on a solo-trip. Came home and ran for Deputy Youth Mayor, representing young people across a region of 40,000. Delivered four major initiatives reaching 500+ local youth, including securing government funding for a region-wide Youth Mental Health First Aid program.
