What is your link to the Goulburn Valley?
My family is from Gippsland where I was born and raised. But my husband Bernard and I moved to Shepparton for work many, many, many years ago.
What is your favourite thing about the Goulburn Valley?
I love the community spirit, there are always new people to meet and connect with. I also love being so close to nature. The lake is one of my favourite places and I often go there to read.
What do you do with yourself?
I used to be a primary school teacher. I absolutely loved it and sometimes miss teaching. I am also a mother to three children, a proud grandmother and great-grandmother, which keeps us fairly busy!
How do you like spending your free time?
I love reading, taking walks in nature and gardening.
What piece of advice would you give your younger self?
Believe in yourself, and do not let anyone change your kind heart.
