My vision is to build a thriving, inclusive, safe, and sustainable Wollongong where every young person feels empowered, valued, and connected through leadership that listens, acts, and supports youth-driven ideas for a better future for us all.
Sustainability: I care about protecting Wollongong’s natural beauty, from our beaches to the mountains, by making the city greener and more sustainable. I plan to continue raising awareness, attending sustainability summits, and actively participating in sustainability councils to drive meaningful change with young people to help our environment.
Wellbeing: Mental health matters, and young people need more support. I’ll work with Headspace and push for more school counsellors so that you can easily get the help you need when you need it.
Safety: Your safety at school, at home, and online is really important. I’ve already worked on creating safer spaces for young people in the Illawarra and will keep doing that by teaming up with organisations that care about safety, just like I do.
