I have spent the past five years organising frontline communities in their fight against irresponsible coal and coal seam gas mining. I began by setting up a community group in north west NSW with farmers, indigenous elders and residents.

I then moved into organising frontline urban communities in south west Sydney against coal seam gas and coal projects in the Macarthur and Illawarra regions.

I have also worked as an organiser with United Voice Union. I am currently the Western Sydney Co-ordinator for Lock The Gate Alliance working alongside the Sunrise Project and the NSW Nature Conservation Council on the Our Land, Our Water, Our Future Campaign.
