I believe I have some great connections coming not only out of Mundubbera, but out of the Burnett region as well.

I was the 2019 Mundubbera Miss Showgirl and received the Community Spirit Award at the Burnett Subchamber finals. Throughout the years I have helped out and been involved in our local show whether it be entering into our amazing sections or assisting with general duties. I have also been fortunate enough to judge our Junior Miss & Master of the show over the past years.

With my passion for my local show and community, I do aim to bring the Next Generation committee and values to Mundubbera and the Burnett Region. Being a part of the Next Generation Committee will be an asset to not only myself I can see, but our beautiful region as well. By being on the committee I’d like to advocate the necessity for the youth and the younger generation to become members of their local show movement.
