How long have you lived in your ward? I moved to Leopold in 2011 where I was living happily and would have stayed, moving only when the rental I was in was sold.

Community involvement: After relocating to Victoria and Leopold in 2011, I joined Leopold Football Netball Club as a trainer, at the same time joining the Geelong Supercats as a junior coach. My volunteer efforts also include participating in the Give Where You Live Loaned Executive Program to raise funds for community organisations.

Associated with a political party or movement?

Yes, I am a member of the Liberal Party.

Preferencing: I am not preferencing.

Campaign budget? Receiving financial assistance? I budgeted $3,000. I have only accepted support from my family and friends.

Three most important issues in your ward? There is a demand for high-quality, safer roads and transport solutions. Roads such as Melaluka Road in Leopold and Tivoli Drive in Curlewis are examples of this. With such growth across Greater Geelong and the Bellarine, there is significant need for more indoor community recreational facilities. so that the community can keep fit and active.
