Why I’m Running

"I am running to represent you, the people of Paterson. My priority is to ensure that your voices are heard, and your needs are met. I will always act with integrity, evaluate every proposal based on what’s best for our community, and bring urgent solutions to the table.”

"I believe it is our representatives’ job to listen to their constituents about their needs, care about the issues facing their local community, and act in the best interests of those that elected them.”

About Me

I’m not a career politician – I’m a mum, a professional, a proud activist, and passionate community member who’s lived through the hardest parts of life and come out the other side with a fierce drive to create change.

As a teenager, I was homeless. As an adult, I survived domestic violence. I’ve built a career in accounting, small business, and executive leadership. I serve my community through the NSW SES and on my local P&C. I know what it’s like to struggle – and how to solve complex problems with compassion, clarity, and action.

We have urgent, complex issues in Paterson. The domestic violence crisis, the lack of affordable housing, and the infrastructure needed for our growing region. We need real action, not more reports and photo ops.

I’ll bring an independent voice to Parliament—one that listens, cares, and acts. No party lines. No political games. Just a commitment to doing what’s right for our community.

When decisions are made in Canberra, I’ll ask one question: How does this help the people of Paterson? And I’ll answer only to you.
