Nothing means more to me than the trust and support of our community. I’m incredibly grateful to have so many people stand with me in our shared vision for Mandurah. Read on to hear what they are saying, and why they believe in a stronger, safer, and more connected city.

“Amber doesn’t just talk about community — she lives it. I’ve seen her show up for people time and time again.”

— Kylie M.

“Over the years, Amber has worked hard to educate and equip herself, becoming a strong, professional, and inspiring leader.

She’s calm under pressure, passionate about people, and ready to lead with both head and heart.”

— Lana Hughes

“Amber has made the wellbeing of Mandurah her top priority. Her dedication is not about recognition or reward — it’s about people. She shows up, she listens, and she acts. Nothing stops Amber from being there for others. She is a true example of community spirit, generosity, and leadership in action.”

— Nardia M.

“Amber is a true servant leader—motivated not by personal ambition, but by a deep desire to see Mandurah thrive. I’ve personally witnessed her dedication as she consistently shows up across the community, attending events, engaging with diverse groups, and listening with sincerity and care. She represents all corners of our city with warmth, joy, and compassion.”

— Krystle D.

Community Member

“[Amber] already lead[s] with heart, wisdom, and integrity — and that’s exactly what Mandurah needs. Leadership that sees people, not just problems. Someone who understands the real issues because they’ve lived them and stood alongside those who have. [Amber doesn’t] just talk about community — [she’s] in it, every day, showing up for people and making a difference. “

— Heather B.

Community Member

“I have had the pleasure of working alongside Amber for the last two years. She is pure sunshine in human form and personifies all that is good, decent and kind in our community. One of my favourite sayings is ‘Do not mistake kindness for weakness’. I feel this is especially evident with Amber who wears her kindness everywhere she goes but also displays a deep strength and resilience in all she does.”

— Cr. Jess Smith

Fellow Mandurah Councillor

“My involvement with Amber stemmed from her support of our school community, in particular with those facing difficult circumstances. Whether through the pandemic, rising cost of living or purely personal circumstances, Amber has sought to alleviate the burden of families, whether socially, mentally, or financially, to make difficult times just that bit easier. This could be as simple as putting a smile on a child’s face to organising donations to struggling families to celebrating the success of others. Amber’s ‘work’ has made a meaningful difference in countless lives.”

— Woncharoam “James” K.

Community Member

“You know firsthand all that Mandurah is, the ugly parts and the beautiful parts – and you love and embrace it all. Who else better to speak into our city? You believe in our city and our city’s future. That’s why you invested years into our kids, bringing them hope, bringing them sunshine. You have passion for the broken, to love them where they are at, but you also have passion for growth and to move forward into a bright future – you balance it so well!”

— Melissa T.

Local Pastor

“True leadership is showing up- with clarity, compassion and conviction. It’s knowing when to listen and when to lead. It’s the ability to collaborate, to communicate with purpose, and to bring people together toward a shared vision. It’s seeing a job through from idea to implementation. It’s rolling up your sleeves, not just making promises, but delivering results.”
