I was born in Sydney and raised in a wonderful loving, caring and social environment. My father was a Kamilaroi man from Inverell NSW, my mother from Gippsland Victoria. I have been blessed with 3 wonderful children and 5 grandchildren and they play a big part in my life. We enjoy many get to-gethers as the miles apart allow us.

After completing my schooling in Sydney I ventured into the working world and gained employment in positions relating to Accountancy. I found this type of work both challenging and rewarding.

In the eighties I moved with my family to Maclean NSW. I attended TAFE to learn how to operate a computer and from there I changed my employment directions into the fields of Customer and Library Service Consultancy. These new skills gave me the opportunity to travel Australia and work in various Universities.

I relocated to Coffs Harbour in 2005 and enjoy the seaside and social environment.

I joined CHAFCCC in May 2006 as Receptionist/Administration Assistant. In my role I cover the areas of Reception, Telephonist, Administration Assistant, distribution of CHAFCCC Information, Resources, Emergency information/relief and the scheduling of Meeting Room Hire. My position allows me the opportunity to inform the Aboriginal community and visitors of the services that the organisation delivers. I have meet many interesting people and enjoy the interaction with the local Aboriginal community.
