I come from the Southwest growing up on Noongar Boodjar Country. I belong to the Ballardong Mob through my grandmother's and grandfather's side. I am a mum of two.

I have had a passion for food since the age of 16. I entered the Hospitality trade then, not ever realising I would ever be where I am today. Learning about Indigenous heritage and the foods my great grandparents used. Being an inspiration to all the young indigenous kids to never give up on the things you want in life. No matter what your situation in life is. This program (Djinda Ngardak) has given me the opportunity to work with amazing chefs, feel supported and open up what is possible in life -  travelling, cooking and working with elders and kids across WA. Working with the National team is scary - but very rewarding. I travel to Perth once a month, and work to balance my commitments of work and family. Working with the TAFE team is long and challenging  but I know that this is important to explore my passion. I am looking forward to traveling with them to Germany in 2024.
