National Student Leadership Forum

I am a 22 year old Postgraduate student studying an Advanced Master of National Security Policy at the Australian National University.

I am raising the remaining amount of my attendance fees for the National Student Leadership Forum (NSLF http://nslf.org.au ). I have exhausted all avenues of sponsorship thus far, but still have a little way to go. But I have little time to do so.

The NSLF is an incredible apolitical initiative giving the chance for the youth of Australia, particuarly those recognised with exceptional leadership potential, to engage in a direct forum of communication with Federal Members and Senators of our Parliament. This gives me a chance to share not just my views, but also represent my community and fellow youth through this incredible opportunity.

I come from humble beginnings, and everything I am today is a result of hard work, persistance, failures, successes - all as a result of my experiences. But I also recognise that I wouldn't be the person I am without the impact of others. Whether it is critical, or supportive, I, and no one can do these things alone. 

With your support, I can help impact the debate and discourse surrounding faith, values and leadership, which are the three main themes surrounding this years forum. Given my studies, and my passionate focus upon Terrorism, these three values are traits and qualities I hold very dear. 

I firmly believe that its time the youth of Australia had a clear, representative voice that the NSLF will allow me to have. Let me be that voice, and support me in bringing what I have to offer to the forum, and begin the next step for Australia.
