Why did you enter Country to Canberra’s Leadership Competition?
It was recommended as a great opportunity through my school community. After doing some research, I found that my values aligned with those that Country to Canberra represents, so the chance to enter was unmissable!
What do you hope to get out of C2C on Screen?
I hope to gain skills of leadership and to be inspired by female leaders. I am excited by the opportunity to connect with other girls and non-binary people living in rural areas!
Who is your role model and why?
Michelle Obama has always been a huge inspiration. She is passionate about her work, and takes every challenge with a kind, level-headed approach.
What’s your favourite thing about living in rural Australia?
My favourite thing about living in rural Australia is the community. Living in a rural area brings a strong sense of belonging and connection.
What’s your favourite quote?
“Success isn’t about how much money you make. It’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.” – Michelle Obama
What’s your main goal or ambition (right now, or in the future)?
My goal is currently to get the best results that I can in school, so that I have as many options as possible for the future. I am not entirely sure what career path I want to go down, so I think it is very important to keep options open.
Tell us a couple of things you do to relax or have fun?
I love going for walks, going to the gym and reading. These activities are so important to ensure that I have a clear head and am relaxed.
