I am a proud Torres Strait Islander with a deep commitment to my community and a love for helping others. For the past 18 years, I’ve been a dedicated volunteer with the Capalaba Warriors Rugby League Club, including serving as President for seven of those years. My passion for supporting others has extended into my career, where I’ve worked as a support worker for the past seven years, gaining invaluable experience supporting individuals with high needs, mental health challenges, and nonverbal communication.

Beyond my professional and volunteer roles, I am a mother to six wonderful children—five boys and one girl—and a proud grandmother to five delightful grandchildren, including two girls and three boys. My life is rich with family, community, and connection. I stay active and motivated by spending time outdoors, whether fishing at the beach or exploring the bush, and I enjoy unwinding with crafts or movies in my downtime.

I am deeply compassionate, easygoing, and driven by a desire to make a difference. My involvement in the local community and Rugby League has shaped my belief in the power of teamwork and perseverance. If I had to choose just one role, it would be the one I hold now, helping people live their best lives and encouraging them to embrace new experiences. It’s a privilege and a passion I carry with pride.

My passion for helping the vulnerable stems from growing up with my non-verbal autistic sister. Witnessing her challenges and the support she received shaped my commitment to creating a more inclusive and compassionate society. I strive to empower individuals facing similar challenges through dedicated work and advocacy.

With three young kids, I’ve mastered balancing work and life, and I guide clients to achieve this equilibrium. I bring a proactive, professional approach, deeply influenced by my personal experiences and commitments, aiming to inspire others to find harmony in their lives.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my three girls and two beloved sausage dogs. We explore parks and beaches around south-east Brisbane, enjoying outdoor activities that bring joy and create lasting memories. These simple moments of togetherness make life special and fulfilling for me.

With a Certificate III in Health completed during high school and currently studying nursing, my journey in healthcare has been guided by a deep passion for supporting others. I bring two years of experience as an Assistant in Nursing (AIN) within aged care, where I developed a particular interest in both aged care and mental health. I approach each client with a person-centered mindset, valuing their unique needs and desires because I believe that no two people are the same.

To me, it’s essential that my clients have the opportunity to engage in activities they love and that bring them joy, enhancing their quality of life. Outside of work, I find relaxation and joy in all things water-related, especially spending time at the beach with my two sheepadoodles. Our walks and beach outings keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of finding happiness in life’s simple pleasures.

A proud Gamiliraay man living on Quandamooka Country. With a passion for capturing moments and telling stories, I have spent 16 years honing my skills as a photographer, both professionally and as a hobby. My love for design led me to 17 years of experience as a graphic designer, focusing on compelling brand identities. I’ve also managed marketing campaigns across social media and streamlined operations through my expertise in IT and business automation.

A pivotal moment in my life was caring for my grandmother during her battle with dementia. For five years, I dedicated myself to her care, revealing my deep love for helping others. This experience inspired me to transition into the care industry, where I find joy in supporting people through challenging times.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring nature with my camera. These activities keep me balanced and fuel my creativity.

Combining my skills in IT, photography, graphic design, and marketing, I strive to make a positive impact, whether through creating beautiful visuals or providing compassionate care.
