With a background in the not-for-profit and community sectors I’ve had the privilege of serving as a youth advisor to Canterbury-Bankstown, Fairfield, and Liverpool City Councils as well as NSW Health South West Sydney Local Health District.

I’ve also had the opportunity to lead the Royal Aero Club of New South Wales as it’s President & Chairman.

In addition to these roles I’ve worked closely with organisations such as the NSW Advocate for Children & Young People (ACYP), Aeria Management Group, Argyle Youth Alliance, Australian Air League, Business Western Sydney, Canterbury Bankstown Chamber of Commerce, NSW Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ), Fairfield & Liverpool City Champion Newspapers, Fairy Wren Movement, Institute of Community Directors, RAAF Association NSW, RSL NSW, Transport for NSW, Youth Action, and the Y NSW.

COMMUNITY Advocate

I’m a strong believer in the South-West Sydney community and am known for advocating to changemakers on their behalf regarding pressing issues such as mental health, education, as well as the local environment and access to green space.

Aviation geek

I’ve been surrounded by aviation my entire life with my earliest memories are just sitting around an airport with my father who is a pilot. Today this passion is visible through my role as President & Chairman of the Royal Aero Club of New South Wales.

Planning enthusiast

As an undergraduate planning student I’m enthusiastic about all forms of planning, from our new communities and town centres, to upgraded parklands and open spaces including my keen interest in South-Western Sydney’s network of creeks, rivers, and waterways.
