Biography:
I was born on Thursday Island and grew my childhood years at Kubin Village, Moa Island. I learn how to grow plants, do gardening and traditional ways for fishing. I love spending time with both of my parents listening to cultural stories. I live with my own family, children and grandchildren here on Kubin. I've been working at the Kubin State School - Primary for almost couple of years now. My duty here at the school is an Educator. In the future, I would love to weave more baskets, do painting and drawings. My stories would reflect on my cultural unique stories and environment we live in and our lifestyle. I haven't been on any exhibition trips ever since I became a Moa Arts member but it would be a great opportunity for me to be apart of one showcase.
