Meet the Team

Why I'm involved

I initially became involved in CFTC because I loved the idea
that young people were going to be involved in a cause that is not normally
associated with young people. I love Nick's vision, and being asked to be a part was an honour. I am still involved as I am proud of what we have done to date and am also excited about what we can achieve in the future.

Tell me more

I’m at Sydney Uni, studying Occupational Therapy. At this stage I'm not sure where my degree will lead to, but I have completed a number of work placements in varying areas and am interested in pursuing paediatrics – especially working with children with autism and developmental delay problems.

I work at the Lord Dudley Hotel 2-3 nights a week, play in social teams for touch footy, go to the beach as often as I can and as many music festivals and gigs as I can afford. I’m also a 1oyal Sydney Swans supporter, which is a lifestyle all on its own.

My music

I love all music. My dad's classic rock has influenced me hugely. I love the older artists like Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Bonnie Rait to name a few. I love listening to radio stations like Triple J and Fbi – they bring out some great tunes from new, old, international and local artists, I really love the variety.
