Mandy Dante Travels from Sydney, NSW

She worked alongside leading youth experts such as Hunter Johnson and Dr. Arne Rubinstein and within youth-led organisations such as Game Changers Australia and Little Dreamers Australia. Mandy has worked with over 2000 young people across Australia to educate and provide preventative mental health tools for their current and future emotional well-being.

Mandy also recently became a model to bring more cultural diversity into the industry. She hopes to use it as a platform to empower girls, to champion a new way of looking at beauty: basing your beauty on your values rather than your physical appearance. She has become the face of big brands including Supre and Modibodi.

Speech Pathology: Mandy's passion originated from being a speech pathologist, where she empowered children with a range of communication disorders to find their voice. Towards the end of 2016, Mandy found that the rate of depression, anxiety, and eating disorders among teenage girls was on a rise. It was at that moment that she found herself shifting her passion and focus toward giving teenage girls a voice and space to become all they can be.
