For The Earth
A commitment to give back to the environments that give so much.
Through action, contribution, and awareness.
Where It Started
I grew up close to nature, living on a boat for several years through the Torres Strait Islands surrounded by environments that shaped how I see the world.
That connection stayed with me.
Over time, it became clear that creating a life I’m proud of also means contributing to the protection of the planet.
Organisations I Support

Wildlife Warriors
COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING PARTNERS
Since October 2025, my dance crew has raised over $2,000 for Wildlife Warriors.
On weekends, we busk in public spaces - dancing for wildlife and directing all funds raised toward conservation efforts.
Beyond fundraising, we aim to build awareness and remind people that creativity can contribute to something bigger than itself.

Dollar Donation Club
A GAMIFIED WAY TO HELP THE PLANET
Through DDC we have planted 1,000 tree’s and removed 125 pounds of plastic from the ocean.
DDC is reimagining philanthropy. Rather than waiting for billionaires to make a difference, we realized that if everyone just gave $1/mo together, we can solve the world’s greatest challenges, without putting any financial burden on any one person. -

Local Tree Planting
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with the VanderAa Collective on several community-focused projects. In partnership with the Sunshine Coast Council.
We helped plant over 1,000 native trees across the sunshine coast region, contributing to local regeneration efforts.
Why It Matters
I believe we’re not separate from nature - we’re part of it.
The way we live, create, and consume has an impact.
For me, it’s not about being perfect - it’s about being aware, contributing where I can, and continuing to learn.
If we’re going to live on this Earth, we should take care of it.
Give Back Where You Can
Small actions, done consistently, create real impact.
If you have an environmental conservation project that you are looking for collaborators on - I would love to hear from you.
