I’ve dedicated my life to helping people—because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Before becoming the Member for Maribyrnong, I spent years fighting for better outcomes for working families. As CEO of The Parenthood, the peak national advocacy body for Australian parents, I led campaigns to improve access to affordable, high-quality early learning and care, parental leave, and support services. 

I’m also a qualified psychologist, and I understand how vital it is that people can access healthcare and the services that support their wellbeing and security—especially during uncertain times. 

As a working mum raising two young girls, Gweny and Margot, with my husband Ravi, I know firsthand the challenges that many families in our community are facing. That’s what drives me every day in this role—to listen, to act, and to make life better for local families.
