Ella is passionate about community, voluntary organisations and the important role they play in society.

By contributing to the long term future and ongoing development of RGDT, Ella is excited to be part of an organisation that positively impacts the lives of Tasmanians. Being from a regional community, Ella is focused on ensuring services are provided equitably and are readily accessible to all Tasmanians irrespective of where they live.
