Amplimity's Directors

---

I am a proud Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi man who had the privilege of growing up surrounded by mob and community from an early age. My journey in community work began as a young boy, walking alongside my grandmother as she supported our people through addiction and recovery. At the time, I didn’t realise it, but those early experiences shaped my understanding of vulnerability, healing, and the power of showing up for others.

I formally began my career in the community services sector in 2019 and have since dedicated myself to walking with and for community. I started in the Alcohol and Other Drugs space, where I developed a strong foundation in trauma informed care and client centred frameworks. This naturally led me into Family Services, where I discovered my passion for working with vulnerable families, children, and communities navigating complex systems.

Since 2023, I’ve stepped into leadership roles, overseeing culturally responsive programs across Domestic and Family Violence, suicide prevention, youth development, and early intervention. I bring a holistic and culturally grounded approach to everything I do, shaped by both professional knowledge and lived experience.

I am a proud Palawa / Lutruwita man, born and raised on Gubbi Gubbi / Kabi Kabi lands. With extensive leadership experience in Youth Justice, mental health, and community services within statutory and community service environments across Queensland, my practice is grounded in trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strength-based frameworks, with a strong focus on advocacy, accountability, and outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, Young People, and families.

Having faced adversity myself, I am passionate about breaking down systemic barriers, Fostering healing, and empowering individuals and families to realise their full potential.

I hold a Bachelor of Psychology and a Juris Doctor of Law, bringing a unique blend of insight and legal expertise to my work. With over 7 years of experience in Youth Justice and Child Safety, I have developed a strong foundation in statutory systems, trauma informed practice, and advocacy for the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander families, and young people. My practice is grounded in both evidence and empathy, with a commitment to culturally safe, honest, and outcomes driven service delivery.

I have worked within the Child Services Sector since 2011, driven by a deep passion for advocating for our First Nations children navigating the statutory system. My commitment to justice, safety, and cultural connection has shaped my career across both frontline and systemic roles. I hold a Diploma in Justice and am currently pursuing a career in nursing, further expanding my ability to support vulnerable individuals holistically. My professional background includes five years with Skills Tech (TAFE Queensland), where I supported education and training pathways for young people, and two years with the Queensland Police Service, gaining valuable insight into justice, child protection, and community safety from multiple perspectives.

I am an Aboriginal leader with a strong background in executive leadership and community governance. I currently serve as the CEO of another Aboriginal-led organisation, where I oversee strategic planning, program delivery, and culturally safe service outcomes. As a Director of Amplimity, I bring senior leadership experience and a deep commitment to self-determination, cultural integrity, and community led solutions. I’m proud to support Amplimity’s vision and contribute to its growth and accountability through strong, culturally grounded governance.
