"This upbringing instilled in me a deep love, respect, and enduring appreciation for the natural environment.

"Descending from a long line of feminist women, I have seen the impact of strong, dedicated women who have worked with organisations such as Women's Refuge, CND, Greenpeace, Red Cross, and Freedom for Timor.

"My practical expertise revolves around beekeeping and sustainable land management.
