Having worked with organisations such as Game Changers, The Rites of Passage Institute, Stand Up and Little Dreamers Australia, Mandy has impacted the lives of thousands of young people across Australia and the world.
Mandy's passion originated from being a speech pathologist, where she empowered children with a range of communication disorders to find their voice. Towards the end of 2016, Mandy found that the rate of depression, anxiety and eating disorders amongst teenage girls were on a rise and it was in that moment that she found herself shifting her passion and focus towards giving teenage girls a voice.
