About
Objectives
As a DRep, I believe in the potential of decentralized governance to drive meaningful change in the Cardano ecosystem. I aim to ensure that the interests of the community, especially smaller stakeholders, are represented in key decisions. I believe in a transparent and inclusive governance model where all voices can be heard and contribute to the growth of Cardano. My primary goal is to empower ADA holders by representing their interests, ensuring their voting power is used effectively.

Motivations
I want to become a DRep because I believe in the importance of community-driven governance and the opportunities Cardano offers for shaping a decentralized future. By serving as a DRep, I can help ensure that a broad range of voices is represented in the decision-making process, particularly those who may not have the time or resources to participate actively in every vote. In terms of experience, I’ve worked in roles that involve leadership, decision-making, and stakeholder management. These experiences have honed my ability to critically evaluate proposals and balance competing interests. My motivation is driven by a commitment to fairness and ensuring that proposals with the potential to benefit the ecosystem and its participants are supported.

Qualifications
I bring valuable experience from my involvement in the Cardano Catalyst project, where I have served as both a Community Reviewer (since Fund 6) and a Veteran Advisor (since Fund 7). These roles have given me a deep understanding of the proposal evaluation process, as well as insights into what makes a project viable and beneficial to the ecosystem. Thus, I’ve learned how to assess proposals critically, considering both the technical feasibility and the long-term impact on Cardano. I believe i should also refer to the fact that I bring a unique perspective as a professional dietitian. My background in healthcare has given me a strong foundation in critical thinking, evidence-based decision-making, and ethical responsibility, all of which are crucial for evaluating proposals and making sound governance decisions.

NoCardano in Oceania: A community-led strategic plan for investing in growth.Decided epoch 586View rationaleClosed11mo ago
i believe this initiative would be more suitable to be presented in the Project Catalyst space for funding. Many other coutries have been seeking a more rigorous presence when it comes to the Cardano community (e.g events etc) across all past Funds.
YesWithdraw ₳5,885,000 for OSC Budget Proposal - Paid Open Source Model...Decided epoch 576View rationaleEnacted1y ago
POSM fosters healthy tooling, dev‑onboarding, and security through a maintainers‑paid model—not grants. I support the Maintainer Retainer Program, Bug Bounties, and Code‑for‑Us initiatives under transparent milestoned delivery.
However, I encourage clearer anti‑Sybil protections and an independent annual audit to reinforce trust in fund allocation.
YesWithdraw ₳220,914 for UTxO RPC: Sustaining Cardano Blockchain IntegrationDecided epoch 576View rationaleEnacted1y ago
UTxO RPC (u5c) is already being adopted across major Cardano stack tools—including Andamio, Mesh, and TxPipe—and serves a critical need for performance, interoperability, and decentralization.
At just ₳220K, it secures the spec’s stability and developer confidence—at low fiscal exposure.
I support maintenance-level funding from Intersect (0.625 FTE staffing), milestone-tracked, to ensure long-term ecosystem alignment.
YesWithdraw ₳1,161,000 for zkFold ZK Rollup administered by IntersectDecided epoch 576View rationaleEnacted1y ago
Zero-knowledge tech is vital for future private transactions and scalable L2s.
Please ensure clear audit timeline, developer SDK deliverables, and public testnet targets are published during Q1 disbursements.
YesWithdraw ₳1,300,000 for Blockfrost Platform community budget proposalDecided epoch 576View rationaleEnacted1y ago
It supports decentralizing critical API infrastructure via the Icebreaker roadmap, enabling SPO-hosted Blockfrost nodes.
Blockfrost is used by over 50% of dApp developers, and this budget helps transition from single-point centralization to a secure, open-source, and SPO-powered model.
I appreciate the $50K security audit.
YesWithdraw ₳45,217 for MLabs Core Tool Maintenance & Enhancement: Cardano.nixDecided epoch 576View rationaleEnacted1y ago
MLabs has a mature track record, while the budget is a small maintenance request and the community impact is modest but necessary for developer infrastructure.
Also --> previous continuation of funding shows consistency.
YesSet 2025 Net Change Limit of 300M ADA, 2026 Net Change Limit of 250M ADADecided epoch 553View rationaleClosed1y ago
The proposed limits mirror forecasted inflows, meaning spending doesn't exceed what’s coming in—this is fiscally responsible. It allows for significant investment (300M ADA is a lot) while maintaining a conservative cap that protects against over-draining the treasury. All in all, it's a safe, pragmatic, and necessary step forward.
