A little bit about me; I live in Withers, I work in Health and have a Physiotherapy background, I am married with two young daughters and love to play hockey. I feel so lucky to live in such a magnificent place and I care deeply about our local environment and the people who live here. I joined Voices For Forrest because I believe in participatory democracy and I want Forrest to have political representatives that really listen to community and represent them well.

I have been impacted by my time growing up in the South West, Perth, Sydney and London.I am actively involved in the Save Smiths Beach Again campaign that has been one of the longest political battles in Forrest. I have also been involved in the ‘Voices’ movement in WA for the last 4 years and have a passion for community advocacy on planning and environmental issues affecting the region.

I'm pleased to return to the Voices for Forrest Committee.I intentionally stepped back after running as the Independent candidate in March 2025. I needed time to regroup, refresh and recommit. I am now incredibly excited by the opportunity to engage with our Electorate of Forrest and help bring about change in our representation. I firmly believe that our democracy needs interested individuals to join together to create opportunities for progressive politics to take centre stage.I am committed to bringing people together from all walks of life to ensure Forrest thrives as a connected, healthy community where our Federal Lower House Representative looks after our interests as a priority- not those of a Party.

The Shire of Dardanup has been home since 2009. Over the years, I have volunteered for Bunbury Fringe, Bunbury Neighbourhood Soup, TEDx Bunbury, Boomerang Bags, Responsible Runners, Greater Bunbury Partnerships in Prosperity and Bunbury Insight Food Truck Festival. During summer, you'll find me down at Koombana playing beach volleyball. I love where we live and enjoy getting involved in the events that bring us together.I joined V4F during the last election. Being from the states and watching what happens when citizens become complacent has motivated me to become more active in our democracy. We all have a responsibility to ensure we pass on a better world to younger generations and I believe it starts local.  Who we vote in to represent us matters, and I want to make sure I do my part to prepare our community for the next election.

I moved to Australind in 2000 after 20 years in the Pilbara. I’ve always been involved in community groups, particularly in relation to those working to save & restore the natural environment. I’m a mother & grandmother, so I want our world to provide a secure future for them.
