ABOUT CHRISTIE
I first began speaking to groups at the young age of 17 as an A.I.S (Australian Institute of Sport) athlete and Australian Olympian in Canberra, Australia. I would be invited to speak about my achievements in sport and inspire others with my story.
When I retired at the young age of 20, after 6 years on the Olympic volleyball team, I never thought 10 years later I would be speaking about drugs, depression and my fall from Grace.
After accepting a salvation call in 2014 at a church, I started my Christian walk and In 2015 I shared my story on drug addiction with the SMH to raise money for www.one80tc.org. I vulnerably and relentlessly spoke as much as I could, wanting to heal past regrets and prevent others from making the same mistakes.
I founded Candifest Ministry, The Wander Organisation and Candifest Enterprises Pty Ltd around this time.
In 2018 I took time off to rest and re-evaluate the public speaking circuit. Over two years I explored new paths. The first path was in the medical field by completing a 5 month medical mission to Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and the Amazon Jungle, Brazil. The second was in aviation and In 2019, I gained my commercial pilots licence for a helicopter in Townsville, Qld. The medical mission and flying doctors in aviation had put a fire in my heart for medicine. My passion to advocate, campaign and enter a political career planted a conviction within to study Law, even though I never thought I would do either. In 2020 I began a double degree in Law and Biomedical science at university in Sydney.
I live in Sydney next to my son and his father to be a full time single mum as he enters high school. I began to move forward again with my public speaking and this time I was going to take it to the next level. I began to talk about plastic surgery, weight issues, self-love, divorce, single parent struggles and more of the issues I know so many deal with. I was ready to go where I was not comfortable with a few years earlier. I have always been candid, open and honest. I was known for being transparent and honest after speaking about my drug addiction.
But why do i open up so vulnerably about personal and private issues? Simply, because I want to help others. I speak on a very broad range of topics now, I join panels and accept interviews. I enjoy speaking, writing content for my talks and adding public speaking as a business so I can do what I love full time.
I continue to build the Candifest Ministry, The Wander Organisation and my company Candifest Enterprises Pty Ltd.
