Lisa Mallick, 22
Executive Officer

Growing up in the city, I had many and various positions including debt collector, telemarketer, insurance broker and financial counsellor. Moving to the Wheatbelt in 2004 changed my outlook on life and I took up a position within the Bruce Rock Shire. After being an active and committed member of the BK community, I found that there is a great need for increased participation from todays youth. I took on the position of Executive Officer for WAFRY as I am passionate about motivating young people to become more invovled in building a future for country WA.

I have abundant enthusiasm and really understand what it is to be a young person, living regionally.  After all, this organisation is about developing young people to be the best they can be and to enjoy social interaction with other regionally based young people. I enjoy the daily challenges the role brings and look forward to helping the organsiation rise to even greater heights.
