I am an Arrernte and Luritja man, born on Warumungu Country and now living in Mparntwe (Alice Springs).

I am passionate about strengthening First Nations cultures, leadership, and community wellbeing through providing guidance, supporting cultural engagement practices, education, and community development that builds stronger relationships between organisations and First Nations communities. A key focus of my work is supporting future generations by strengthening First Nations leadership, cultural identity, and self-determination.

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work across a range of sectors, in stakeholder engagement, strategic partnerships, cultural governance, and community-informed decision-sharing. These experiences have reinforced the importance of listening, learning, and working alongside communities to achieve meaningful and sustainable outcomes.

Guided by the values of respect, integrity, and accountability, I am dedicated to supporting initiatives that preserve culture, strengthen identity, and create lasting benefits for First Nations peoples and communities. I believe the most effective solutions are those shaped by the voices, experiences, and aspirations of the people they are intended to serve.

I am proud to contribute to work that creates opportunities for Aboriginal people, families, and communities to thrive, while supporting stronger partnerships and greater understanding across all parts of society.
