Elizabeth migrated to Australia from Tonga with her family when she was 8 years old, knowing only two words of English: yes and no. She attended primary and high schools in Sydney. Elizabeth was raised by a single mother who taught her compassion from an early age, which developed into a great passion for people.
In 2005, her family and she moved to Canberra, where she established herself in the local community as a small businesswoman. Elizabeth has been actively engaged in charity and volunteer work, especially involving women, youth and the local community.
I firmly believe in the value of giving my time and energy to others, working to ensure that families, individuals and vulnerable people are able to nurture and achieve their aspirations.
Elizabeth was elected to the ACT Legislative Assembly consecutively in 2016 and 2020 elections. She represent the residents in the electorate of Ginninderra.
