I have been a local Melton resident for the past 10 years and am a proud mum of a 5 year old daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have studied a Certificate IV in Government at Warner Institute and have been employed in the Local Government sector for the past 7 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a community activist and a volunteer. Currently, I am the President of a local not for profit organisation called the OESS Incorporated which is an organisation established to Encourage People to Step Towards Success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Member of the Safe City Advisory Board with Melton City Council, I am always here to raise the voice of our community and to work towards transforming Melton to be a safe place to live, work and play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hard work and commitment over the years to the Melton community has been recognised. I have been Nominated for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access and Inclusion Leader of the Year Award 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citizen of the Year Award 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intercultural Engagement Leader of the Year award 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer of the Year award 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an advisory board member of the Victoria Multicultural Commission (VMC) and Mental Health Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have successfully assisted many single mothers by connecting them to available resources and have provided support to so many women experiencing domestic violence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid social isolation and to boost self-confidence of our local senior citizens, I volunteered my time to provide counselling and welfare checks for our seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an active community member, I have had the opportunity to meet great local residents. I have listened to their concerns and have been encouraged by many to stand up for Melton and be their voice in the Victorian Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The residents of Melton have had enough of being neglected and left behind. They want their fair share and deserve better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
