I received my first award for community service when I was in year 11 at St Saviours College being named Interactor of the Year by Rotary Toowoomba. 

At 17 I began volunteering at Hamewith Toowoomba, Queensland's first residential accommodation for children with an intellectual disability. 

This facility was managed by The Endeavour Foundation. 

 

I have been at the helm or a significant part of hundreds of fundraising and community awareness initiatives throughout my career including the Toowoomba Hospice, the Heart Foundation, Teen Challenge, Ronald McDonald House, White Ribbon / Toowoomba Together and Give Me 5 Five For Kids raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation.
