I am an advocate for stronger, more vibrant communities. I believe in values based choices that deliver the highest good for our supported people, coastal community and its visitors.
My strong support network has nurtured my values of inclusivity, human connections and the importance of looking after the volunteer.
A big picture thinker, I strive to bring these values to life via verbal storytelling and organisational leadership.
My positive outlook on life has been strengthened by her desire for wanderlust; believing every new destination is an opportunity to learn from new experiences.
Together we are stronger.
