I was born in Wicklow Ireland, and we emigrated to Australia when I was 7 years old. I grew up at Grafton on the NSW north coast.

Now I live on a property outside Goulburn with my husband. We have four adult children and two grandsons.  We all enjoy motorcycle touring and the best trip in recent years was a ten day tour of Ireland, though we take regular runs to the South Coast and up through the Blue Mountains.I currently ride a red Harley Davidson low rider.

I’ve always tried to get involved in the communities we lived in over the years and I appreciate very much the role of volunteers and community groups as the glue that keeps our society together.

I’m delighted to be the Patron of the Goulburn Field Naturalist Society, the Goulburn Abbeyfield House group, and a patron of the restoration of our historic Sts Peter and Paul’s Od Cathedral in Goulburn.
