Over the past 10 years I’ve been an active member of the Bertram school community, where I have held many roles from P&C President to Chair of the School Board.

Interests
I am very passionate about giving children and young people opportunities to be more active in our community.
I support sustainable development within the City, in the right areas, to cater for the community as a whole. This needs to be balanced to ensure the City keeps as much of its natural bushland as possible as this is what makes Kwinana such a unique area to live. I am also passionate about ensuring we are doing everything possible to increase safety and security in our City.
The City is growing fast, with much of the future development planned in areas such as Wandi, Anketell, Casuarina and Wellard. I am keen to ensure the City keeps up with this growth, with the services and facilities offered following suit.
I am a strong advocate of creating sustainable communities, ensuring all the great people in our City have adequate access to the skills and resources required to help make their suburbs better places to live.
