Throughout my career, I have consistently gravitated towards roles that involve advocacy, leadership and creating opportunities for others. As Team Leader of Neighbourhood Hubs at Wyndham City Council, and through additional responsibilities as a Mental Health First Aid Officer, Health and Safety Representative, Family Violence Contact Officer and Wynability Advocate, I have seen first-hand how much difference compassionate leadership and strong community organisations make in people's lives. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that meaningful change happens when people are prepared to step forward, listen, advocate and create spaces where everyone feels they belong. 

Previously having focused on supporting the communities that shaped my children’s lives, I now have the time and passion to contribute to organisations that align with my values. Collaborative, curious and respectful, I bring a sense of humour, an open mind, and the confidence to ask the tough questions.

I moved to the area in 2019 to build my house and moved here permanently in 2022.  I am transitioning to retirement but am keen to continue to use the skills I have developed over my career I think BNH offers a great service to the community through both courses and material support to those in need. I would like to support that effort through initiatives such as a neighbourhood advice service to provide initial advice and referrals for further assistance, assistance with government bureaucracy, and support for vulnerable groups.

I have spent many years building a business, strong connections and meaningful relationships within our community. Throughout that time, I have been committed to providing a safe and welcoming space where people can come together, connect and feel a genuine sense of belonging.

BNH provides that same vital sense of safety, connection and community for so many people. I feel deeply connected to the role BNH plays within our community and am committed to ensuring that it continues to provide essential services, facilities and opportunities for people well into the future.

I am very community minded. I am motivated by the desire to support and improve and to lead by example. 

 I enjoy exploring possibilities and where possible, adding value to committees, groups etc. I am always ready to put my hand up to help and genuinely love working with people from all walks of life.
