Her contributions include volunteering as the executive secretary of the African Australian Council ACT and as an executive in the East African Community Association.

Betty coordinates support for vulnerable women and is passionate about making a difference in mental health, domestic and family violence and overcoming barriers for culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
