I love my Lismore community and surrounding country, its people and cultural life. I have a particular interest in managing our waste and water sustainably, and work hard to ensure that our farmland and environment are secure from overdevelopment.

I grew up in Lismore, as brought my children up here. As a small business owner, I want to see sustainable development in our area – planning that enhances prosperity and employment, without detracting from the character and natural beauty we so value. I volunteer in several local organisations and play in a band too.
