My professional background is diverse. My career has spanned everything from corporate roles within the Banking, Insurance, and Real Estate sectors to heading up for-purpose organisations.
I am currently the CEO of The Nappy Collective, which provides free nappies to families in crisis.
Previously, I led a team at Homes for Homes, raising money for social and affordable housing. I am proud to say that during my time at Homes for Homes, I raised a pipeline of over $110 million, and it is still going strong.
Giving back to the community is important to me. I am a foster parent and have proudly provided a temporary safe haven for children who have been welcomed into my home. Through foster care, I have witnessed firsthand the impact that simple supports can give to families in crisis.
As a proud Richmond resident I am running to bring back community to the centre of decision-making in council.
Victorian Labor meets, works and campaigns on the traditional lands of the First Peoples of Victoria. We pay respects to Elders past, present and emerging – and acknowledge the important role all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within our country and our Party.
