BASED in the Esk/Toogoolawah region with ties throughout the western and northern borders of the electorate.

I am passionate about community, combining the rural and town communities and advocating for the next generation of leaders.

After completing a Bachelor of Agribusiness and Sustainable Agriculture at UQ Gatton, I continued working full-time in our family cattle operation, which spans up to 10,000 acres across the Somerset region.

With my grandparents and extended family also based locally, involved in cattle production, rural contracting, and small business, I feel very fortunate to be part of such a strong, community-driven region.

Through our family business, I’ve been able to experience a wide variety of day-to-day activities that have shaped my skills and knowledge with extensive business involvement.

I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had so far, and I’m excited to continue learning, growing, and giving back to the Somerset community that has shaped me.

I am involved in multiple community groups and events, and have a passion for this. As your councillor, I would combine my love for community, advocate for all of the members of Somerset, work for you, and follow through on your concerns to continue making our Somerset area better every day.
