Candidate for Chisholm

About

I was born and raised in Mount Waverley, in Chisholm's south, and most of my family live in Chisholm.  I studied at Deakin University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Teaching.  I have also been awarded a Masters degree in Social Work from Monash University.

I ran for Monash Council in 2008, narrowly missing out on being elected. I currently work in community services as the project leader of the Victorian Foster Care Recruitment Project, and have previously been a small business owner/operator.  I have been an accredited foster carer for 5 years and have a keen interest in the welfare of those most in need.
