Background
I have lived in the City of Melville all my life, completing a majority of my study in the Bateman-Kardinya-Murdoch Ward, at Kardinya Primary School, Somerville Baptist College and Murdoch University. My family and I love living in the City of Melville and enjoying all it has to offer.
Professional Experience
In my teenage years, I became involved with the City of Melville through the City's Youth Advisory Council (YAC). It was my participation in this program that lead to my desire to contribute to my community in a meaningful way. Since being elected to the Melville Council at the age of 19, I have served as Deputy Mayor and on many committees including Neighbourhood Watch, the Local Emergency Management Committee and the Youth Sports Scholarship Panel. I have a Bachelor of Science (in Mathematics and Statistics, and Chemistry), a Graduate Diploma of Secondary Education and have completed the Company Directors' Course. I now teach Mathematics at a local secondary school.
Interests
Within local government, I am passionate about offering the best services we can to our community whilst ensuring we manage our finances responsibly. I am also enthusiastic about community engagement and youth issues. Outside of local government, I enjoy running, reading and watching footy and cricket!
