With the aim of reconnecting, uplifting and inspiring the community after the Black Summer fires 2019/20, I started the project ‘Humans of Kangaroo Island’ on social media where I share stories of islanders one at a time.
As a creative outlet with an impact, I wanted to make a difference for my community and started profiling farm firefighters in November 2020 leading into the next fire season whilst fundraising for them. Hoping to re-equip 100 farm firefighters with protective clothes and safety equipment, I needed at least $15,000 but ended up raising over $60,000 in three months, and winning a Community Champion award recognising my efforts.
