This approach helps identify barriers that can prevent fire safety and emergency information from reaching people when it matters most. She values the strengths and insights communities bring and is committed to amplifying these learnings across the emergency management sector.

She was recognised with the 2024 AFAC Laurie Lavelle Achiever of the Year Award and received an Ambassador Award from the Victorian Multicultural Commission.
