1. What is your work/passion/ side-hustle?

I have worked for over 25 years in private and non-profit health related organisations. I have a special interest in quality improvement, practice management, team training, culture building and business development. Fun fact, I successfully facilitated the first Virtual National Primary Care Collaborative in 2007 - way before Zoom was a thing! As a side hustle I manage Hudson Cottage Talbingo Air-BNB. It's been fun renovating an original Snowy Hydro workers cottage and sharing it with guests from far & wide.

2. Beyond the 9 to 5 – what do you live for?

I procrastinate in my garden, enjoy learning golf & love spending time with my family & friends.

3. How did you land in Wagga - Are you Wagga born and bred, grew up here moved away and returned, moved here later in life and stayed because you love it, or something else that landed you here?

Born & bred on a family farm west of Wagga. I loved spending the 80's & most of the 90's in Sydney, followed by a stint in outback Queensland and Western Australia I headed back to Wagga & have enjoyed being back here ever since!

4. Woman (famous or not) you are most inspired by and why?

My gorgeous grandmother Maisie who I remember as being generous, kind & loving - she's also the namesake for our daughter.
