I have had the privileged of living in many beautiful spots in Australia from coastal Eden, to the remote Indigenous community of Normanton, to the New England Highlands and several of our beautiful cities. I now live in Newcastle with my family and 2 dogs.

Many of my work roles have been focused on issues of social equity. I have also worked in a number of our top educational institutions in research and fund raising capacities. I am Secretary of the Board for the amazing Sugarvalley Neighbourhood Centre.

My education has encompassed a Master of Philosophy in Sociology at UQ, a Bachelor of Arts with a major in education and psychology at Sydney Uni, a Diploma of Community Services Work among other training. I am also a NSW Justice of the Peace.
