Profile:
I arrived in the Shire around 2013 with intentions to reconnect with country life and am now happy to call it home. I believe Toodyay and the greater Avon Valley has a very bright future and the opportunity to help current and future residents through council decisions is important to me. As a member of several local interest and sporting groups, I have an underlying commitment to community organisations and residents in general. Working in a trade within the region I have met many locals from diverse backgrounds that have inspired me to nominate. I stand for a progressive and compassionate community served by a transparent and positive council.
