Summary
Growing up I was highly involved in volunteering and fundraising for the CFA in Castlemaine and Guildford. I am also involved with volunteering my Christmas mornings with the past Apex group in Castlemaine.
Throughout school I was involved in many leadership roles and sporting events. I completed my VCE at Castlemaine secondary college and graduated in 2022.
While completing school I worked as a waitress and a dance teacher and since finishing school at the end of 2022 I have been working as a traffic controller within my gap year.
