Personal Statement
I’ve always believed that if you’re fortunate enough to build something worthwhile, you also have a responsibility to give back.
Over the years I’ve volunteered my time by speaking at industry events, sharing ideas, mentoring, contributing to housing discussions and bringing people together from government, industry and the community to help tackle some of Australia’s biggest housing challenges.
For me, this has never been about recognition. It’s about using my experience, relationships and time to help create better outcomes for people and communities.
Joining Pledge 1% is simply a way of making that commitment more intentional. As my work continues to grow, so will my commitment to giving my time, knowledge and leadership to initiatives that create lasting social impact.
Personal Volunteer Commitment
I commit to contributing at least 100 hours of my own time each year to mentoring, public speaking, industry collaboration, advisory work and community initiatives that support housing, innovation and stronger communities.
I also believe one of the greatest contributions I can make is connecting people. Some of the most meaningful progress happens when the right people come together around a shared purpose. If I can help create those conversations and turn ideas into action, then I’ve made a worthwhile contribution.
My hope is that, through this commitment, I can encourage others to use their own time, skills and experience to make a positive difference in the communities they serve.
