Why Now? Why Ryan?

I'm a Chartered Accountant with 14+ years' experience in finance and governance, and a proud Claremont local. Giving back is central to who I am — I've served as Treasurer of Perth Inner City Youth Service since 2017, supporting young people facing homelessness; Treasurer of Rainbow Community House since 2019, providing mental health support for LGBTIQA+ youth; and on the Finance Committee of St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church for 5 years, helping steward parish resources.
