"I would like to join to work alongside other NT youths to allow for successful outcomes to gravitate throughout the whole NT. I want to see changes for our youth & things implemented to see more success. I bring a wealth of knowledge from working with Local & State governments, sitting on boards where I gained strong governance skills which reflect my roles in leadership."
