I’m an Australian, born in a Victorian country town on the banks of the Murray River and
raised in a beachside suburb on the Mornington Peninsula. I am the proud mother of 4 and
grandmother of 9.
On a professional level I worked in IT for 34 years in the corporate world before discovering
that people were more fun to work with than machines and made the move to advertising
becoming an Advertising Sales Consultant an occupation I enjoyed for over 14 years.
My community involvement outside of Inner Wheel (apart from the usual kindergarten and
school committees and children’s sporting organisations):-
• Past Vice President of the Board of Management of a local Community Learning
Centre
• Twice Mayoress of the City of Casey.
• Past Vice President of the Board of Management of Casey North Community
Information and Support Services.
My IW Involvement to date:-
• Became an IW members in 1994
• Twice Club President
• District Chairman
• National Constitution Chairman
• National President
• National Representative
• IIW Board Director
• IIW Vice President
My Inner Wheel membership experience has been one of realisation, development and
appreciation. To me, one of the most amazing things about IW apart from the friendship
and support, is the opportunity for personal development available to each one of us
particularly when we step up and leading by example.
It happens all the time, a member who thinks they could never be club President steps up,
takes on the role, grows into that role, flourishes and then steps up to take on a role in
District and beyond.
I am humbled by and most grateful for the support of so many Inner Wheel members and
for the opportunity to pay back to this wonderful organisation and serve as IIW President
for the 2025-26 IW year.
