Why I am running
Cairns should be a place where youth join decision making across all industries, not just as an extra curricular in school! With my health & leadership experience, I hope to make this dream a new reality for our city.

Fun Fact about me
I volunteer as a member of our local Headspace Youth Reference Group, and I hope to become a mental health doctor one day!

The three main issues I care about are:

  1. Youth Homelessness – better access to housing for youth
  2. Youth-Centred Community Engagement – more youth advising organisational strategy
  3. Youth Mental Health Strategy – advocating for proper mental health funding
