Hear what I have to say…

Committed to making Ballarat a better place to live, work and invest, but most importantly…

Getting the job done!

A bit about me:

I am a confident and visionary leader who hears, listens to and connects with our community.

I trained as a registered disability nurse, my husband and I owned and managed various small tourism and hospitality businesses. I’ve worked as a real estate agent, headed various state and national marketing campaigns, strategies and fundraisers and I am proud to say I have been an elected mayor and a local voice for the Ballarat people as councillor for almost16 years.

My husband and I chose Ballarat as the place to raise our four children and haven’t looked back. We now have four grandchildren here.

Ballarat is the regional capital of Western Victoria and one of the fastest growing cities in Australia. It’s a progressive and forward- looking municipality with internationally recognised heritage, a wonderful lifestyle and an energetic atmosphere.
