I've lived my entire life in South Western Sydney.

I grew up in Lurnea, where my parents bought their first home. With my sister, I attended Lurnea Public School and Lurnea High School.

I built a life in the area, raising three boys with my husband Larry. I've volunteered with sporting clubs to secure better services and facilities for our community and to support the youth of the area. I am a life member of Liverpool Catholic Club Junior Rugby League Club and a member of the local referees association.
