About me

Anchor 1
Home Life
​

I live in Duncraig with my husband and two sons, aged 13 and 10.  We have moved around a lot as a family, both internationally and interstate, but we always return to our lovely, leafy neighbourhood, where we've made our home.

Right now l am working as a Freelance Copywriter.
​
My background is in advertising and I have worked for some of the biggest agencies in Perth and Australia, including Singleton Ogilvy & Mather in Sydney. I also have experience running my own marketing agency, with a team of six advertising specialists.
​
I believe that I am in a good position to take on a new challenge and have the time and energy it will take to work for my community as the South Ward Councillor. I want to make a difference.

Community
I enjoy taking an active part in my local community and am currently the Vice President of the Marmion, Sorrento, Duncraig Progress & Ratepayers Association. 
​
I also take an active role in volunteering at my son's school: Poynter Primary, where I manage the Scholastic Bookclub. I've also been Classroom Co-ordinator and helped to run the P&C Poynter Farmers Market Stall.
​
But my biggest community involvement for the past two years has been to fight for better development outcomes within the City of Joondalup: particularly with HOA Areas. 
​
It is this work that has inspired me to try to represent my community's voice further, by running for the position of South Ward Councillor for the City of Joondalup. I hope you can support me. 

Thanks for reading!
