I am in my final year of a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in English and Theatre studies. I work part time as a journalist, and am one of the new ActNow Cash for Comments writers. I am also a member of the NSW Youth Advisory Council.

Thinking about the world, like a lot of people I tend to swing between extremes of cynicism and idealism.  I am always positive and certain about the ability of young people to make a difference in the world around us- I only wish more people would clue onto this!!!

I want to ActNow because I don't want to sit around waiting for someone else to make the changes I want to see. It is amazing the way things seem to fall into place when people determine what is they want to act on, and every time I have stuck my neck out and taken a risk for something I am passionate about, it has always brought good things into my life.

I am inspired by the genius that is the strangely spunky Andrew Denton, everyone who works in the youth and arts sector for crap money but with a lot of heart, my Mum (hokey but true!!!) and people I meet only once at youth forums or summits but whose commitment and drive stay with me for a long time after.

I laugh at Flight of the Conchords, British comedy like The Office and Blackadder, the crazy things we do in theatre class and myself when I laugh so hard I snort (which sadly, is pretty often!!)
