Profile Summary
I have lived in Sawtell with my husband Christopher and my three children Katherine, David and Amy (who now live in Sydney) for the past 29 years. I am a Registered Nurse by profession and have worked at the Health Campus in the Emergency Department and, more recently, at Baringa Hospital. In September 2012 I stopped work to take up the position of City Mayor.
I have been actively involved in current health issues, local theatre and many fundraisers for the community. You might say I am a bit of an all rounder: I am interested in sport and promoting tourism in this wonderful area. I would like to work for the community by providing a different dimension to Council. I am keen to get an entertainment centre, skate park and also revitalising the City Centre and the Jetty foreshores.
