I'm a straightforward person and I want to get on with the things that matter.

Like skills training to prepare people for the job they want, locally available health care, excellent schools, good roads and public transport, and help with the cost of living.

I know these things are important because they have all made a big difference in my life. I’ve lived in regional Victoria for most of my life, choosing to raise my family here. I am a proud single mum of two amazing young men, my sons Sam and Alex.
