Following a career in Business Administration with a large multi National I was ready for something new. The change to a small local business that really cares about people and its local community has been an exciting challenge and change from my past roles.

I’m a local Gippslander passionate about my family, cricket, the outdoors, our environment and my garden. I enjoy working with all of PE’s stakeholders from participants to NDIS and everyone in between.
