Board of Management

I am married to Pauline and we have 2 daughters.  My youngest daughter has Autism with an intellectual disability.

I have worked in the power industry in the Latrobe Valley for over 38 years in many aspects of the business and I am currently Shift Operations Manager at Loy Yang Mine working for AGL.

I have been with Interchange Gippsland for many years as a client and serving on the Board in the past as President, Vice President and continue as a Committee member.

I live with my husband and two children and have been a solicitor for over 20 years, working in environmental and planning law.

I joined the Board of Interchange in mid-2010. Being on the Interchange board has been a privilege and I enjoy working to make sure we continue to deliver an expanding range of high quality, innovative, community inclusive services for the Gippsland community.

Working locally, I have been on the Interchange Gippsland Board since 2010, and currently hold the role as Treasurer. I am proud of all that Interchange Gippsland has achieved, and the extremely rewarding work we do. I believe we are an exceptional organisation and am committed to continue to provide quality services to the Gippsland community. I have worked as an accountant (CPA) for over 30 years for various organisations (currently in the power industry).

My husband, Terry and I live in Traralgon. I am a senior Case Manager with Anglicare Victoria, in Morwell. I work with the Integrated Family Services Team, assisting families with parenting. I have an Associate Diploma in Arts (Welfare Studies) through Monash Gippsland.

I joined the Interchange host program in 2002 and hosted for over 2 years. I joined the Board in 2004 and took on the role of Secretary, prior to becoming President 2010.

I am married with two adult daughters, and have lived all my life in the Latrobe Valley. I currently work in a business development and compliance role with a local Operations and Maintenance company providing services to industry.

I have many years experience in the energy, power and bulk materials handling industries, working  in a  range of management and human resources roles.  I have been involved with Interchange since 1995 initially through my youngest daughter who has a mild intellectual disability.

I have recently moved to East Gippsland for a lifestyle change and am enjoying living on acreage and away from the traffic of Melbourne. I joined Interchange Gippsland so that I could get to know my new community and share some of my skills with a deserving organisation. My sister worked in Disability Services for 20 years and always showed her passion for helping others, and gained so much from her work.

I have 20 years experience in the IT industry in a variety of industries such as telecommunications, banking and finance, consulting and energy. I enjoy solving problems through technology and using it to connect people. I am currently working for a global software company.
