I am a mother of three grown children.  My family resides in Brisbane and I am a happy resident in the Bayside Suburb of Lota, not far from the waters edge of beautiful Moreton Bay.   I have a Nursing background in Perioperative Surgery holding both a Diploma and Degree in Health Science Nursing.  Certificates in Perioperative Nursing, Family Planning, Workplace Training and Assessment and Marriage Celebrancy from recognised training institutions within Australia.  I have worked as an Educator in Nursing and have participated in Conference Presentations and I have extensive experience as prime speaker across broad audience requirements.

As a Justice of the Peace (Qualified), I have Professional Membership with the Queensland Justice Association and as a Celebrant have membership with both the Association of Civil Marriage Celebrants Queensland Inc (ACMCQ) and the Professional Celebrants Association (PCA).

As a child I grew up in the Wynnum area of Brisbane moving to rural Queensland in my teenage years.  In the intervening years, I have worked and lived in New Zealand,  country New South Wales and back to Brisbane.  I attended Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga.
