Interests

I’m a passionate lover of music I enjoy listening, playing, watching live performances, and collecting records I play bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and ukulele, and I’m an avid vinyl enthusiast with a collection of nearly 1,000 records During my twenties, I spent several years travelling overseas, including a year living in Italy I have a deep appreciation for food, culture, and language, and I’m always eager to learn more in these areas


I’m also deeply committed to the community services sector and am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Work I aspire to become a revolutionary in the field, an ambitious goal, but one I believe begins with advocating for and supporting marginalised and vulnerable communities Every step I take in this direction brings me closer to making a meaningful impact
