She belongs to a very large Aboriginal family with homelands west of Alice Springs and is one of the custodians for the famous Stanley Chasm. Estella has lived across the Northern Territory her entire life and brings years of experience in the community service sector. Most recently, Estella was employed as the Clinical Lead for the Safe Connections program working with young people who have exhibited harmful sexual behaviours. She is passionate about her own ongoing learning and sharing this with other people and organizations.
