Background

I have lived in Kwinana for over 20 years and I am very passionate about the City. I was first elected to Council in May 1997 and my current term expires in October 2021.

I was elected Deputy Mayor in 2005 and became the [then] Town's first female Mayor in May 2006. I have a keen interest in the careful economic development of Kwinana as well as improving the local image and ensuring we have excellent facilities and services available for our growing community to use and enjoy.

I hold a Bachelor of Laws and practiced in most jurisdictions until July 2011 when I transitioned to the important role of full time Mayor. I am a graduate of the Australian institute of Company Directors.​

In June 2019 I was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (General Division) in recognition of my services to the community of Kwinana and the economic development of Perth as a member of several key boards and committees whilst on Council.
