Make it Matter

Kate spends her free time fishing and camping around Tasmania with her husband. Tasmanians are blessed to live in such a beautiful place, but not all Tasmanians have access to a decent standard of living.  Through The Project Lab, Kate is excited about contributing to projects and initiatives that will lead to all Tasmanians having the opportunity to enjoy living, working and playing on our islands.
