A Quick Background
Community Advocate
Internationally recognised for sparking conversations, I've championed issues including mental health, education, and access to green space. My advocacy has been featured in the media and acknowledged in parliamentary debate, helping shape policy discussions and build momentum for stronger, fairer communities.
Transport Nerd
What began as curiosity about Sydney’s transport networks has grown into professional expertise. At Transport for NSW, I contribute to state-wide planning projects that improve accessibility, sustainability, and future growth. I bring history and passion together to inform decisions that shape how millions of people move every day.
Aviation Geek
A lifelong passion became leadership when I was elected President of the Royal Aero Club of New South Wales, one of the nation’s oldest aviation organisations. In this role I’ve advanced opportunities for training, and youth engagement, connecting my family’s flying legacy with a broader vision for the industry’s future.
Planning Enthusiast
I see planning as the art of shaping vibrant, liveable places. From revitalising town centres to strengthening Sydney’s networks of rivers and waterways, my focus is on balancing growth with sustainability. Through civic advisory work, I’ve contributed to projects that protect natural landscapes while ensuring communities thrive.

I pay respect to their elders and communities past, present, and emerging.
