Nominated by:

I am a passionate and driven person, conscientiously committing my time and effort to causes I believe in.

I have always been steadfast and from a young age, my passion has been about food and the food industry. I enjoy cooking and the process of developing recipes, which started when I was at school, helping my Mum with the development of the ‘Yavneh Cookbook’ to raise funds for the school. This interest continued throughout my education, leading to my chosen field of study of a double degree in Food and Nutrition Science and Commerce, majoring in Marketing. To many people, this combination of study didn’t make sense, but to me it was clear; I wanted to be able to advocate for the right to healthy and nutritious food for all.

My role as Marketing Manager for C Care allows me to enact my values, and I feel privileged to work everyday in a field that makes a real difference to vulnerable members of our community.

Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, especially treasuring my time with my two Grandmothers, who sparked my love of food and continue to teach me valuable life lessons.
