Tell us about yourself and your work in your organisation.
I joined the Casey Dinner Branch of The Country Women’s Association of Victoria Inc in 2005 and have served as a Branch President and Branch Secretary and now I am the CWA West Gippsland Group President.
What has been your most memorable moment during your work in your organisation?
One of the memorable moments was after the Bunyip State Park bushfires when our CWA Branch was able to donate vouchers, food stuffs and plants to the Tonimbuk Hall Relief Centre. We were able to spend some time with local residents and we were filled with admiration for their sense of community and support of each other.
What do you love about your work in your organisation?
I have made so many friends at CWA and am always impressed with their community spirit and their “can do” philosophy. The support and friendship I have received will always stay with me.
If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
I would love to be a guinea pig. They are so adorable and seem to enjoy life being with other guinea pigs.
What were you like as a kid?
When I was a kid I grew up in Bethnal Green, London and enjoyed playing street games like skipping, hide and seek and cricket.
What event, past or present, would you like to witness?
I would like to witness the world coming together to seriously reverse climate change.
Which six dinner guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?
I would invite David Attenborough, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Paul McCartney, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
What three words would your friends use to describe you?
Three words I hope my friends would use to describe me would be: industrious, humorous and supportive.
What would you do on your perfect ‘day off’?
My perfect day would involve reading with my feet up with constant cups of tea brought to me.
If you had to compete on MasterChef, what dish would you cook?
I am very much a plain food cook so I probably wouldn’t make the grade on MasterChef.
Where is your dream holiday destination?
My dream holiday destination now would be Samoa. A tropical paradise with wonderful friendly people.
