I have had careers in the Travel Industry, TV production, Real Estate, Recruitment and in recent years, up until COVID, I facilitated educational programs as a Trainer and Assessor.

I have volunteered in various positions in my original Oakleigh Rental Housing Co-Op in the 1990’s and also after our merger into South East Housing Cooperative.

Being a SEHC tenant for 25 years and having secure, affordable housing provided me with the opportunity to study a Bachelor of Adult Learning and Development ( B.A.L.D.! ) at Monash University in 2002. Having left school in Scotland at 15, this was a dream come true.

The Co-operative model of social housing has enormous generational value and SEHC’s professionalism places us well for potential future growth, and it is an honour to recently have been elected as a Director on the SEHC Board.
