Tahnee Geia
Lifestyle Support Worker
Tahnee is a descent of both the Yalanji (near Cooktown) and the Olokola people (in the centre of Cape York) 200 miles inland from Coen.
She grew up on Palm Island and was schooled there until she went to the mainland for Boarding School to complete Year 12.
Tahnee returned back home to Palm Island and started working at the age of 16.
Having worked for selectability for the past six years, Tahnee enjoys being able to engage with the Palm Island community and "support our people, who have been in hard struggles".
