I live Killarney Heights with my husband, two children ages 7 and 8 and two dogs. We moved here because of the schools, the sporting facilities and because it lacks the traffic problems of our previous address in Willoughby .
Currently I work on a casual basis as an Angiography Radiographer at the Mater Hospital Crows Nest and as a Cardiac Radiographer at the two St Vincents hospitals in Sydney. I have a degree in Medical Radiation Science and am a Registered Nurse. I have worked in England and traveled extensively in America , Europe and the Middle East .
My children attend the local Forestville Montessori school and I am involved in various fund raising events for the school.
I enjoy reading, swimming and walking my dogs.
I also have an interest in the areas of education, health, genetic engineering, bio and nano technology, bio diversity and the organic movement. I belong to an organic food co-operative in Forestville. I have been involved in organizing petitions and lobbying council for safer roads in the Willoughby area.
I joined the Australian Democrats five years ago for several reasons:
- I felt powerless to stop the Howard Government from taking us to war in Iraq
- I am interested in pre school age education and childcare
- I could see that we needed a moderate third party in the Upper House to keep the Bastards Honest
- I felt that the policies of the Australian Democrats seemed sensible
