Profile
Since 2004, my partner Ben and I have made Gibsons our home. We operated a
fitness-wellness studio on North Road for five years, and initiated several community
events including the Play Golf Give charity golf tournament for Together Against
Violence, the Celebration of Excellence for Sunshine Coast Volunteers in collaboration
with The Volunteer Centre, INfusion networking and professional development events,
and the Exceptional Women’s Network supporting Sunshine Coast female
entrepreneurs and business owners. I am an active Board member of Sunshine Coast
Tourism and Best Coast Initiatives Economic Development. I am running for Gibsons
Council to demonstrate my commitment to this community.
My goals:
• To enhance the balance and diversity of our Council;
• To bring a FRESH approach to Council; (macro vs micro; solutions vs problems)
• To find OPPORTUNITY for the Coast’s talented residents (i.e. smart, vibrant
• sustainability).
“The sustainability of our local economy is my biggest concern. As I watch businesses
where I have enjoyed shopping close their doors, I worry about dollars and jobs going
elsewhere. It will take forward-thinking collaboration, innovative solutions and an actionoriented
approach to strengthen our community without changing what makes it so
special. Visitors to Gibsons remark on how lucky we are to live in this peaceful paradise,
but the current approach to local leadership is fragmented, disjointed and often far from
peaceful. Our new mantra should be it’s not about ME, it’s about US.”
I value both the wisdom that can come with long experience, and the energy and fresh
ideas new members can bring to a team. I believe younger working individuals should
participate in community leadership at a government level. I hope to become a
member of a Council that demonstrates efficient process and decisive leadership, and
undertake clear, forward-thinking actions.
