Mob: 0400 686 851

I work part-time as a Cardiac Technician at St John of God Murdoch Hospital and have lived in Thornlie
for the past 18 years. Having emigrated from a small village in England in 1968 I am passionate about
family, community values and equality of opportunity for all. I am also a committed volunteer within the
community and whether volunteering at the Animal Protection Society in Gosnells or giving my time to
local charities I am reliable, compassionate and supportive. Educated at Applecross Senior High School I
have worked in local hospitals for over 20 years, combining high level technical skills with hard work,
patient rapport and a keen sense of humour. My interests include sport, theatre, the environment and
swimming. A good listener; my goal is to ensure that local government action fully reflects the needs of
the community and to improve facilities for all age groups throughout the electorate.
