I’m a teacher, women’s health advocate and community organiser, and I’m proud to call Geelong home.

I believe our communities deserve leadership that listens, connects and delivers practical outcomes that improve people’s everyday lives. Through my work across women’s health, education and community development, I’ve seen firsthand the pressures people are facing and how government decisions can either support communities or leave people behind.

I’m passionate about creating a future where housing is affordable, public transport is reliable, public education is properly funded and climate action is meaningful and achievable.

I believe politics should be grounded in community, informed by evidence and focused on building a fairer, more connected and more sustainable future for everyone.

Together, we can build a South Barwon that is affordable, inclusive and thriving.
