VEC Candidate Statement
I deeply care about the world we leave for our children. My family are proud to call Millowl our home, where we live, work and learn together. We’re actively involved in sports and activities which fuel my passion for fostering a strong, vibrant community. I’m running as a candidate because our growing community deserves better delivery of the basics. I’m dedicated to creating safe spaces for our young people to engage and thrive. My top priorities are setting up a youth resource centre, establishing safe bike paths, and building the long-promised recreation reserve. We need a Council that embraces change, responds to our needs, and prioritises our community’s immediate concerns. Working at Bass Coast Health gives me a deep appreciation for our community’s diverse needs. In my professional life, I have gained valuable experience in government, healthcare, and tourism. If elected as an independent councillor, I promise to listen, be accountable, and work tirelessly to achieve the best results for our community. Together, we can make our shire an even better place to live. I care about a community for everyone – inclusive for people of all ages and cultures where all can participate, be engaged, and feel connected.
