I bumped into Santa at Reservoir Library this morning! 🎅

Children, parents, families and loved ones filled the room for photos and shared gifts with Santa. I also heard ABC Melbourne had a chat with Reservoir Village on the radio this morning!
A huge congratulations to the traders for putting on such a warm and welcoming Christmas event.

Special thanks to Belinda who has bought so many wonderful events, to our much loved Edwardes St this past year 🎉

Gender based violence is preventable and the truth is that change starts with all of us choosing respect in our homes, our workplaces, and our public spaces.

As a local councillor I will continue to advocate for evidence based prevention, honest conversations, and stronger support for everyone who has lived with fear or silence.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, everywhere 🤎 Respect Victoria

It was an honour to attend Parliament House this afternoon and stand as a finalist among hundreds of newly elected councillors and 59 nominees from across the state. Congratulations to Katharine who was awarded the first Emerging Leader title for 2025 in local government. A well deserved recognition.

I am honoured to be named a finalist for the Mary Rogers Emerging Leaders Award. Being recognised in the name of a woman who paved the way for us is deeply meaningful.

My work as a Darebin councillor is grounded in service to our whole community, and I am always guided by the conversations and experiences shared with me. Each conversation with residents, carers, families, community workers, and local organisations strengthens my commitment to shaping a healthier and more inclusive Darebin.

Thank you to the Victorian Government for supporting emerging leaders and to the Darebin community for considering me a worthy finalist. Regardless of the outcome, I will continue to do what I have and advocate for equity, community improvements, connections, safer neighbourhoods and better outcomes for the wellbeing of every person in Darebin.

It was an honour to MC the Order of Australia Victorian Branch end of year dinner, a room for of wisdom and connection. Serving on the Victorian OAA Committee in the past year has been a a privilege, especially being able to welcome our 2025 Victorian recipients.

We heard from Georgina Gibbins who shared her tireless work supporting farmers across Australia and we met our Victorian Young Order of Australia recipient, Ayman Miaizi. This grant will enable him to continue his studies and progress his chosen passion in Aerospace Engineering.

Being surrounded by individuals that are helping to shape the lives of Australians through meaningful, intentional and selfless efforts, is an evening that can't be missed.

What a fantastic event - Celebrating the people of Darebin that connect, build and celebrate our community 🎉

Today, I had the honour of laying a wreath at the Reservoir RSL for Remembrance Day.

This year, I laid it in recognition of the often-unseen heroes the families, carers, and loved ones who continue to support veterans living with mental health challenges.

Their care, compassion and quiet strength remind us that remembrance must extend beyond the battlefield to the homes and hearts where the impacts of service are still felt.

Lest we forget. 🌺
