Summary
I have lived on a rural property all my life, travelling to school in Port Pirie. In my final two years, I was a boarding student, completing my SACE and year 12 studies in 2025.
I have recently been accepted into the Bachelor of Midwifery at Adelaide University, and will be residing at Lincoln College, North Adelaide.
I have held a job since age 14, working at the local Service Station, Hotel, and Cafe. The past two years, I have worked for Viterra/Bunge for the harvest period, classifying grain upon arrival.
