My name is Tess, I am 34 years old and currently live in Bundaberg.
I am very passionate about joining the Learn and Lead group, so people with disabilities have better healthcare.
I’m also passionate about Rugby League and I follow the Melbourne Storm.
I love going to the Gym and staying fit and healthy.
I enjoy cooking and painting. I have entered 4 paintings in 2 exhibitions, and I have sold 3 of my artworks.
In 2024 I went to the World Down Syndrome Congress in Brisbane and enjoyed listening to the speakers. I also took part in the self advocacy day which taught me to share good ideas and speak up and I was asked to be on one of the panels. I really enjoyed doing this. I’m looking forward to becoming a leader and working as a team member and building new skills.
