Born and raised in Perth, I have grown to embrace diverse challenges that have helped me to develop both on a personal and professional level. Thriving in dynamic environments, I have never been one to shy away from a challenges.
I am currently undertaking my Bachelor of Commerce at Curtin university and am majoring in international business and Marketing. These majors underlie my areas of passion that are helping me to build a foundation of international Marketing strategies, understanding of global economy and consumer behaviour.
I have always had a passion for academics, throughout high school I received various accolades for my endeavours such as academic and English course awards. This pension for knowledge has translated into my higher education with receiving academic commendations throughout my first year of studying, with more predicted to follow.

The Road So Far
When I began my degree in Marketing and International Business at Curtin University, I knew I wanted more than just theory, I wanted to get out there and make things happen.
I started at Viva Photography as a Local Area Marketing Consultant, supporting one of five branches. But I wasn’t there to blend in. With a strong work ethic and a drive to deliver results, I quickly caught the attention of other studios and was soon contracted by head office to lead marketing efforts at major events like the Every Woman Expo, Telethon, and Sexpo partnerships. That momentum earned me the Employee of the Quarter award and a reputation for getting things done.
As I grew, so did my role. I was promoted to Social Media and Branding Manager at head office, where I now lead brand strategy, launch new initiatives, and build partnerships that push the brand forward. It’s fast-paced, creative, and exactly where I thrive.
Before that, I interned with the West Australian Genome Atlas Project at UWA, where I designed web content and learned to manage both platforms and people. It was a crash course in adaptability and digital storytelling.
But my leadership journey didn’t start in the office, it started in the community. I joined the Bull Creek LEO Club in 2018 and quickly found myself stepping into bigger roles, eventually becoming President. I helped run a statewide leadership conference, built connections across WA, and discovered how powerful purpose driven work can be.
Each chapter has shaped the way I think, lead, and create. And I’m just getting started.
