Kaiamba Davis

As a proud Kamilaroi woman born and raised in St George, I bring strong community connections to my role as First Nations Officer with CUC Balonne. In this role I look forward to supporting students from primary school through to vocational education and university. I am especially keen to strengthen the engagement of our young people in education. Outside of work, I love being a mum to my two beautiful children and enjoy playing sport and being active in my community.
