Recreating an engaged, functional, and professional Ku-ring-gai Council

Together, we can make a difference and recreate an engaged, functional, considered, and professional Ku-ring-gai Council which puts residents at the centre of the conversation.

I’m a determined, resilient and educated professional with keen business acumen. Like you, my goal is to preserve and protect our heritage, our environment, and our neighbourhoods from inappropriate development, to improve our way of life with upgraded and accessible amenities, to protect ratepayers from generational Council debt whilst balancing support for innovative village hubs that drive connectedness and easier living.

With 30 years’ experience across multinational corporations and diverse industry sectors, today I specialize in stakeholder engagement and serve our community in a large government department designing frameworks and delivering tools to engage, listen and act upon the voices of diverse stakeholder groups serving more than 800,000 customers. I will bring this missing skillset to Ku-ring-gai Council.

We each cherish this most beautiful, liveable, and unique area of Sydney. I'm fortunate to have lived in Ku-ring-gai since 1977, attended Ravenswood, and now live in North Turramurra. My Daughter is in her senior years at Ravenswood and my Husband is an Officer of the Royal Australian Navy. I have volunteered for many years for charities, for schools, and in business mentoring. We are very much a family of service.

It’s essential we have Councillors with passion and acumen, ready to serve, and along with an MBA (MGSM), MTeach (Hons)(Sydney), and professional qualifications, I will deliver for you.
