A BIT ABOUT ME

I grew up in Townsville, where I was part of Northreach Baptist Church throughout my childhood. In 2022, I moved to Brisbane to study a Bachelor of Laws/Business (Marketing) at QUT. Over the years, I’ve worked as a photographer, barista, and most recently as a Media Advisor in the Office of the Premier and Minister for Veterans - a role that deepened my passion for communication and storytelling.

MOST DEFINING MOMENT

Completing the Starting Out course and the Streams Transforming course were huge turning points in my faith. They reshaped how I saw God, not just as someone to believe in, but as someone to walk with daily. Those courses ignited a deeper intimacy with Him that I didn’t even know I was missing.

WHY I DO WHAT I DO

I want to serve my Heavenly Father with everything I have. My heart is to walk in complete surrender and obedience to Him, trusting that even the smallest acts of service can be used for His glory. It brings me so much joy to be a witness to what He’s doing in people’s lives - to act as his scribe, capturing and documenting the work He is doing at Riverlife.
