I have lived in Kwinana for over 20 years. I was first elected to the City of Kwinana council in October 2007 and I am one of the youngest councillors ever elected at the City. I was elected as Deputy Mayor in 2013 and in October 2023 I was elected Mayor.
Over the past 16 years I’ve been an active member of various community, sporting associations and boards, holding many different roles from president to general member. I have spent most of my working life within the community sector in range of roles from youth worker to, team leader and service manager.
I am currently employed by the State Government where I work as an electorate officer in a State MP’s office managing issues in the community. I hold a Certificate in Youth Work, Certificate in Training and a Diploma of Community Service Management.
I am a proud Whadjuk Ballardong woman living in the City of Kwinana. I currently work at the Institute of Indigenous Wellbeing and Sport, an Aboriginal community controlled not-for-profit organisation based in Kwinana.
My expertise and focus is to develop partnerships and provide programs that use cultural connection as the catalyst to increase the health, social and emotional wellbeing for Aboriginal People.
