Mel works with the Red Cliffs community to support strategic, place-based projects that improve outcomes for children, young people, and families. She helps local voices shape solutions that are grounded in lived experience and community knowledge.
Originally from Curlwaa, Mel left the region for study and travel but was drawn back to the strength and familiarity of community life. She is actively involved in local music, sports, and volunteering, contributing her energy and passion to building stronger systems from the ground up.
