My background and history with Drupal:
I began using Drupal in 2012 (site building/themeing), then started volunteering at various Drupal events a year or so later (DrupalGov, DrupalSouth).
I started on the welcome desk, have contributed back by presenting myself, as well as being a track lead and generally helping out in one way or another.
Over the past couple of years I've successfully co-organised DrupalACT meetups (Canberra), and was voted in to the 2022 DrupalSouth Steering Committee where I put my hand up to fill the secretary position.
My favourite achievement to date is introducing the DrupalSouth Community Day (DSCD) in Canberra (November 2023), and running it again in 2024.
Why I'm running as a candidate:
I've enjoyed being part of the DrupalSouth Steering Committee so far, learning a range of new skills related to event organisation and widening my contacts within the Drupal Community.
I feel I've made a difference by taking on ideas from the community, and make those ideas a reality (eg. DSCD). In turn, taking on feedback from the first DSCD conference to modify the next conference to make it a rewarding experience for everyone.
Why you should vote for me:
Apart from my sparkling personality, I would like to continue doing work for the committee to make sure Drupal events are accessible to as many people as possible each year.
