Local. Honest. Independent.

I am a Nepean local, a 30-year media veteran, and a tireless community advocate, ready to be the voice this region deserves in State Parliament.

I was born at Rosebud Hospital and grew up in Rosebud and McCrae.

I’m running as your Community Independent, selected by Independents for Mornington Peninsula, local people who believe in community-backed representation, because for too long, both major parties have ignored our community.

The hospital where I was born needs to be rebuilt. Our roads need fixing. Our schools need investment. My hometown is now the rough sleeping capital of Victoria, yet the people working hardest to help those doing it tough receive zero State Government funding. That's not good enough.

I'm running because this place, our UNESCO Biosphere, our RAMSAR wetlands, our Green Wedge, our world-class creative community, our local businesses and growers, deserve a fierce local champion, not an afterthought.

I've spent my career listening to people and giving voice to what matters most. Now I want to do that for Nepean.

We have the chance to make history: electing our first Community Independent and the first woman as State Member for Nepean.
