Where do you feel your place or ‘home’ is?

My family is the most important part of my life. I live, work, and play for them, drawing strength from my actions and striving to leave a meaningful legacy. My three children, partner, mum and dad, and brother inspire me daily to be a better person. We share each other’s journeys as if we are one, and I am truly grateful to be blessed with such a beautiful family.

Who are the most important people in your world?

I am always grounded when I’m on Country. My homelands in Coonabarabran fill me with strength and essence, and when I’m not there, its call is loud and clear, urging me to return. Although I’ve traveled far and wide, there truly is no place like home.

What is something you love doing?

My greatest joy comes from growing and harvesting food. There’s nothing like a cuppa in the garden at home, surrounded by the fresh mist of the morning. I am deeply passionate about flora and fauna, and I am excited by renewable energy and environmental care for Country. I love doing my part to care for the land, and I am incredibly appreciative of everything it provides me.
