Born at Denistone House in Ryde Hospital, my roots in the Ryde area run deep, having called Ryde home my entire life.
I grew up in a small business family in Melrose Park, where I learned the value of hard work early on. I went to Meadowbank and Ermington Public Schools, then finished high school at Marist College Eastwood, where I was proud to serve as School Captain.
Community service started early for me. When I was ten years old, I led my first local campaign, calling for a new skate park in Meadowbank. Fifteen years later, I had the honour of supporting and opening that very park as a City of Ryde Councillor. In 2021, I was proud to become Ryde’s youngest-ever mayor.
My passion for service led me to advocacy work for people with disabilities and take on roles as a project manager, working on major infrastructure and transport projects across New South Wales.
I completed both a Bachelor’s and Master of Commerce at the University of Sydney, where I specialised in infrastructure and transport management, strategy, entrepreneurship, aviation, maritime management and logistics.
