I grew up and schooled at Rochedale, Brisbane. I graduated from the University of Queensland in 1987 and started working in a small animal practice in Toowoomba. James and I worked and holidayed in the UK for 2 years before returning to Queensland.

We settled on the Peninsula and set up Peninsula Vet Surgery at its current location. James and I started our family and have 3 wonderful boys. I have many fond memories of our early family days at the surgery.

Presently, most of my time at the surgery involves administration and clerical work which is not particular glamorous but very necessary. My hobbies are running, belly dancing and Tae-kwon-do.
