Tahnee has always had a strong spiritual connection to the environment, especially to Bardi and Mayala Country. She studied medicine for three-and-a-half years but realised that wasn’t the field for her and went on to do a variety of short-term jobs around town, including events, handiwork, as a marine park ranger, writing, and camerawork. In 2022 she started her own sustainable microgreens business. She joined EK’s Sustainable Communities team to work with the Social Enterprise Project.
