A strong communicator with a degree in communications, I have created The Wheel Life to share my stories about my life with the dream of creating a fun and inclusive world. I strive to do more as a natural problem solver.
I also take on life from the perspective of living with a disability acquiring spinal cord and brain injury in a car accident just weeks before my 6th birthday. I also have anxiety and experience panic attacks. I am a disability advocate.
I am competitive and have overcome challenges with determination. Attending rehab has enabled me to gain a greater independence, and the granting of my Starlight Wish changed my perspective on life by encouraging me to take risks, have fun and make the most of opportunities.
I have a passion for sport and making change in adaptive sports. I love sit skiing having skied in Australia and overseas. I am an active member of Disabled Wintersport Australia (DWA) as a participant and volunteer.
I am a full time working public servant. I am a member of my workplace disability network. I’ve fought hard for workplace inclusion and change. Achievements have been made in creating easier access to kitchen facilities with taps within reach and wide parking spaces.
I call Australia home. I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples today.
