I grew up in Brisbane and that is where I got married and had my 2 beautiful boys. We moved to Townsville in 2013. I loved the laid-back lifestyle Townsville offered and thought it would be a great place to bring up children and I like the weather. I much prefer the warmth than the cold.

I have worked in the community/mainstream sector for over 25 years now and 20 years of that time in leadership roles. I am very passionate about helping people and making difference. I have experience working with organisation through significant change management pieces and assisting organisations building their business from the ground up. Being able to reflect and look back at the difference that is being made no matter how big or small, is what continues to motivate and excite me.

I feel so privileged to be given the opportunity to be part of The Oasis Townsville and leading the organisation to what will be life changing for the Veteran community and their families in Townsville. I have supported Veterans throughout my career in various roles and I know the difference it makes when people feel connected, supported and have a purpose.
