The Victorian Young Achiever Awards is about recognising dedicated individuals in their particular field of expertise. I was very honoured to receive a nomination and had no idea that I would end up winning this year for the category Health & Wellbeing. As someone who has overcome many difficulties associated with Autism + Asperger's. I am so proud that through keeping good health and wellness physically and mentally myself throughout life that it has not only turned into my career. It has been my ultimate true success in life. I encourage all young Australians to reach out to an event such as the young Victorian achiever awards to showcase your hard, passionate work and to be recognised for your achievements to assist you further in life.
