My name is Rachelle Dowling, I am 18 years old and I am an activist for love.

I’m from a little retro country town called Yarragon that is outside of Melbourne, Victoria, but I have been traveling around Victoria due to the foster care system since 8 years old. I work daily to achieve my highest potential, in hopes to encourage my younger sibling that are in the system.

My past has given me reasoning to fight for love, it has also encouraged me to go out into the community to help others in need.

My inspiration is Michael Jackson because he inspires me daily to keep my heart open and smile throughout every hardship.

I am studying to become an Education support worker to encourage children to reach their highest possible potential.

My goal in life is to create a positive chain reaction of spreading love throughout each generation and I believe by joining the advisory council I can not only contribute my own experiences; this opportunity can also help contribute to my goals as well.
