Lia Burton

"I feel fortunate to work with Charlotte, Lizette, and so many inspiring people who help shape positive change. Some of my favourite moments happen in our Mint Studio where I’m surrounded by creatives and can work alongside them watching their confidence grow as they explore their own interests and creative ways of moving through life.”

"Empowering people through the creative and performing arts is my passion. Seeing confidence grow, connections form, and individuality celebrated is why I love my work. I’m inspired by the power of community — from volunteers to local organisations — and feel very lucky to be part of a remarkable team whose vision and dedication make Mint the vibrant organisation it is.”
