I spent the first 10 years growing up in Yarraville and moved to Wangaratta with my mum and younger brother Jack at the end of 2018.

I attended St Patrick's PS and now I am in Year 10 at Galen Catholic College.

I am a Leading Cadet (LCDT) for the Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) with The 420 Squadron Benalla/Wangaratta.

Being in the Air Force Cadets involves learning new skills and applying them to daily tasks. Demonstrating respect, friendliness and willingness to help wherever needed. I am pushed out of my comfort zone and that makes a better version of myself.
