I am a mum of four, granny to ten under eight years old and have two fur babies. Family is a large part of my life but the bush, my 4×4 and cameras round out my retirement.
My work life has been dominated by health, as a nurse and health educator at all levels of the education system. I am now enjoying a consumer role with Safer Care Victoria. I have been living with heart failure for 17 years and I have come to regard it as a challenge but not a sentence.
What do you find most rewarding about your association with Heartbeat Victoria?
I see peer support as a beneficial add on to the health care of those challenged with a cardiac issue and their careers and families, and look forward to working with Heartbeat Victoria to achieve the best lives possible for all of us.
