I was born in Mt Margaret and move to Leonora, living here since 1964.

My working life was in WA Country Health Service, including working as an enrolled nurse at the hospital, coordinating home and community care, a health worker with community health and working with the local doctor.

After a short break from health work, I moved to the CRC and worked there for nearly 5 years before recently retiring.

As well as working in the community, I enjoy engaging with community outside of this and continue to do so through the Women’s hub, sitting on the Safer Leonor Working Group, and the Leonora Bowls Club committee,

I’m a reliable, honest, and responsible person, and believe I can serve it well as a Councillor.
