About


I am a qualified Social Worker with more than 30 years’ experience working with, and alongside many amazing people from all walks of life. I believe I will be a good Social Carer because I enjoy sharing my knowledge, skills, experience and love for life with others. I love family time, people, nature, animals, sports, reading, art, music, adventures, socialising, gardening, problem solving, planning projects, and yummy food. I have my own pottery studio at home and has gone from state field Hockey player to state Dragonboat paddler. I was born in Namibia, grew up in South Africa, and has been a real Aussie for more than 20 years. I am intrigued by different countries and cultures, and love listening to people’s experiences.
