Having called Leonora home since 2009, I've seen our community evolve and flourish. My commitment is rooted in my family ties, as my children and grandchildren are part of this vibrant town.

My deep ties to this community, including my family's presece and my seven-year tenure at the Leonora CRC has given me firsthand insight into our resident's diverse needs, and reflect my unwavering dedication. As a business owner (GTN Services) and an active participant in our Shire's life, I understand the complex interplay of economic development, community support, and local governance.

My vision includes sustainable development, empowering our youth, ensuring accessible services, fostering exonomic growth, and transparent, collaborative governance to preserve and enhance Leonora's unique charm. My candidacy is a testament to my love for our town and my commitment to its future.
