👋 𝗛𝗶! 𝗜’𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆, 𝗬𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶'𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿

Think of me as your go-to person for staying connected with Yalari, accessing support and finding opportunities to get involved. You'll see me out and about in communities across Australia, so come over and say hi. I would love to have a yarn!

As part of the Alumni & Pathways Team, I focus on:
📣 Supporting how Yalari connects & engages with alumni, making sure your voices are heard
💛 Building strong relationships with alumni so our support continues to respond to your needs
🚗 Heading out into the community to reconnect with alumni and their families

A big part of my role is listening to alumni stories and getting to know everyone so that we are delivering the support you need at any stage of life.

Outside of work, I love to go fishing and surfing with my wife and our three beautiful kids - so you'll likely spot me on a beach or river near you soon!

💬 Have a question or want to get involved in a Yalari event or camp? Please get in touch below – I would love to hear from you!

✨ What a weekend!

Recently, Yalari alumni and students participated in the 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱 led by Defence Australia 9th Battalion, Royal Queensland Regiment - Australian Army, stepping up to every challenge and supporting each other along the way.

From navigation exercises and battle preparation activities to land and water obstacles, participants built confidence, strengthened their leadership skills and formed new connections across the Yalari network.
