Born and raised on the North West Slopes of NSW, my passion for community led me to pursue nursing. I advanced to become a regional healthcare leader, overseeing nursing and midwifery, sustainable healthcare, and disaster response teams from Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour.
I’ve always been someone who speaks up for those who need it. I’ve cared for patients in crisis, led healthcare teams through fire and floods, raised two wonderful kids, and, after winning my own battle with cancer, became a leading advocate for cancer prevention, support, and research.
In 2022, I had the privilege of being selected as the community independent candidate for Cowper. Over 1,500 of us built a movement that turned Cowper from a safe seat into the Nationals' most marginal electorate. It was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life, showing what’s possible when we listen to the community and talk about the issues that matter: climate action, affordable housing, healthcare, and reliable mobile and internet services.
This time, we’re ready to make history and turn Cowper Independent.
