Growing up on the Northern Beaches, I was always on and in the water, either kayaking, ski paddling, rowing surfboats or just down at the beach. It’s these experiences that gave me a deep love for nature, and particularly our coastal and marine environments. This evolved into a dedication and desire to protect animals and the world we live in.

I am motivated by a deep sense of solidarity and community and a desire for social, economic and ecological justice, the same core values that are at the heart of the Greens movement. I believe that when we collectively organise, which starts with engaging in genuine good faith dialogue with those around us and building trust and ties of solidarity, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

Now, perhaps more than ever, is the time to make the conscious effort of knitting our communities closer together - I think it’s our only choice if we are to have any chance at addressing the climate and economic crises facing our communities.

But I also know that so many of us are doing it tough right now, and people barely have time to keep their head above water, let alone get involved in community politics. That’s why I promise that a vote for me, and for the Greens, is a vote you can trust. You can trust that I will always put people and planet before corporate profits. I’ll advocate for renters, for people with disability, for animal welfare, for people struggling with bill shock, for people who want liveable healthy and clean communities.

I believe in hard work for the responsibilities I take on, and in collaboration, consultation and compassion guiding every decision. Thanks for your support!
