Honoured to have attended the Melbourne Jewellery Fair as a special guest, and especially proud to be there in support of my wonderful sponsor, Tusk Gallery

Tusk Gallery, is well known for its beautiful collection of fine gemstones, particularly their exceptional sapphires. What makes them truly special is their commitment to sourcing high-quality natural gemstones that are carefully selected for their colour, brilliance and uniqueness.

It was a true pleasure meeting so many talented people and learning more about the creativity, craftsmanship, and stories that shape the jewellery world. Thank you to everyone who made the experience so memorable.

Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to many more inspiring moments in this beautiful industry. ✨💎

✨My heart is so full ✨

I had the absolute joy of organising a beautiful “Glitz & Glam” Pageant Runway together with the wonderful lifestyle coordinator Lynne Johnston at Benetas Clarinda Aged Care home.

And what a magical afternoon it was. 💄👗💃

There was so much laughter, dancing, sparkle and happiness as we helped the residents get dressed up, style their hair, and add a little glam with makeup. Watching their faces light up when they looked in the mirror was truly unforgettable.

Moments like these remind me that confidence, beauty and joy have no age limit. Every single resident brought their own sparkle to the runway and absolutely owned it.👸🤴

💐As a National Finalist for Mrs Galaxy Australia, my heart and purpose is to uplift others and create moments where people feel seen, valued and celebrated. This day was exactly that. 💐

Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart who helped make this afternoon so special. Special thanks to Ms Teen Galaxy Australia national finalist who also joined us to help out in many ways.

The smiles, the dancing and the pure joy will stay with me for a very long time.

Because a little glitter, kindness and confidence can truly brighten the world. ✨

Honored to have attended and supported the incredible walk for Monash Children's Hospital today as a proud Mrs Galaxy Australia National Finalist ✨

Being surrounded by families, brave little warriors, dedicated healthcare teams, and a community united for such a meaningful cause was truly heart-touching.
Every step taken today represents hope, strength, and brighter tomorrows for these beautiful children.

As Mrs Galaxy Australia National Finalist, my platform is not only about the crown. It’s about compassion, community, and using my voice to make a difference. Supporting Monash Children’s Hospital is something very close to my heart, and I’m so grateful to stand alongside so many amazing people raising awareness and funds for lifesaving care.

Together, we walk with purpose. Together, we make an impact. 💛✨

I had the absolute joy of volunteering once again at Benetas Clarinda, and this visit was extra special. 💐

Together, we spent the afternoon creating beautiful corsages in preparation for our big day. Watching the residents’ creativity shine and listening to their wonderful stories filled my heart more than I can put into words. There’s something so special about sharing laughs, memories, and meaningful moments together.

Every visit reminds me just how much joy and warmth lives within these walls.

Stay tuned… something very big and very special is coming to Benetas Clarinda! ✨🌟

I had the absolute privilege of handing over a donation to the children’s cancer ward at Monash Children's Hospital ❤️🌟.

While I was there, I had the huge pleasure of speaking with a beautiful family. In the midst of the hardest season of their lives, their courage, grace and unwavering love were incredibly moving. It reminded me once again of the resilience and strength we carry as women. How we hold our families together, how we continue to show up, and how powerful our hearts truly are.

As we journey through this Lenten season, a time of reflection, compassion and giving, I encourage you to consider making a visit to a children’s ward, taking a moment to talk with a family, or making a donation to a children’s hospital. Even the smallest act of kindness can bring comfort, light and hope into someone’s life.

And a heartfelt thank you again to the Galaxy platform for encouraging community service and creating opportunities to give back. Together, we can make a difference 🤍❤️💜

This Could Save a Life. No, Really.

Right now, young people across Australia are silently battling mental health struggles. Smiling on the outside, hurting on the inside. Too many feel alone. Too many don’t ask for help. Too many never get the chance.

That’s why I’m raising funds for batyr Australia; an organisation that helps young people talk about mental health before it’s too late. Batyr empowers students to speak up, break stigma, and know that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Mental illness doesn’t look a certain way. It could be your friend. Your sibling. Your teammate. Or you.

Even a small donation can make a real difference. Starting conversations, changing mindsets, and potentially saving lives.

If you’ve ever struggled.
If someone you love has struggled.
If you believe young people deserve support, not silence.

Please donate and share.👇👇 Let’s be the reason someone feels less alone today. 💛
