My career has tended towards office management with stints in sales, I enjoy interacting with people of all walks of life and customer service.

Having spent around 12 months travelling Australia in our caravan since my husband retired, we have now settled in Armidale to be close to our family. We love the four seasons of Armidale and the natural beauty surrounding us.

Bushwalking, reading, a good movie and coffee are my passions.
