Treaty is about future generations. This means that young people must have a seat at the table. Our voices must be heard, not just listened to.

I come from a staunch line of leaders, activists, and disrupters who taught me the value of perseverance, standing up for Community and using our voices for change.

I’ve spent the past 4 years working directly with young mob in and around the state – as an impactor at Clothing The Gaps Foundation, co-leading the Koorie Youth Summit and driving better health outcomes on VicHealth’s Strong Young Mob committee.

Through my work at Koorie Youth Council, I have met young mob where they are – in Community, schools and prisons. Too often I hear that young people feel they don’t have a voice in the spaces that really matter.

If elected I will work hard to:

Reimagine the way Treaty interacts with young mob

Empower young mob to shape treaty outcomes through connection and knowledge sharing

Represent the priorities of young mob and hold myself accountable to all mob who call this state home.

I’m asking for your vote so I can elevate our voices. Together, we can shape a youth-led future.
