Proud Kamilaroi woman | Experience working in the local community.

What’s your connection to the MidCoast / Taree?

I moved to Taree in 2021 with my partner and our two kids, and we’ve since made it home – buying a house and settling into the community. I grew up in Inverell and left in 2015 to study nursing at university in Coffs Harbour. I'm a proud Kamilaroi woman and am learning more about my identity and culture.

What does First Steps Count mean to you?

I brought my kids here when they were tiny, and it’s been really good to finally have somewhere to belong. Moving to Taree was really isolating at first, but now, being part of First Steps Count—especially working here—has put me on the other side of that experience. I feel proud to promote it and confident in what it offers families. It’s a calm, welcoming environment, even with all the energy of children around. As a mum and someone who’s passionate about children, it means a lot to be part of something that truly makes a difference.

What does success look like for you here at First Steps Count?

Maintaining inclusiveness for all families.
