Interests

 I have always been a passionate lover of animals of all shapes and sizes and I love exploring Lane Cove's many beautiful bush walks with my dog, Star. In my free time I foster and rehome kittens. I love seeing them develop from tiny balls of fluff to independent, curious cats ready for their forever homes. As an avid reader, I am always exploring new books and podcasts. I also have a deep love for the theatre, which has been a long-time passion. I’m fortunate to have travelled extensively and particularly enjoy adventure activities like canyoning, white water rafting and scuba diving. Recently, I've discovered an interest in bookbinding and building miniatures.

Background

I’ve lived in Lane Cove all my life and attended Lane Cove Public School. I own and operate a dog walking and pet care business based in Lane Cove. Alongside this, I am currently completing a BA of Communications, majoring in Public Relations and Digital & Social Media, as well as a Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation. I have completed the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award and had the privilege of participating in the Rotary Adventures in Citizenship program.

Why you stood for Council

I feel incredibly honoured to have been elected as the youngest councillor ever in Lane Cove. I stood for council because I am passionate about ensuring that the diverse nature of our community is represented. I look forward to contributing to a more sustainable, inclusive, and forward-thinking Lane Cove.
