I was born in Swan Hill Australia and moved to Lakes Entrance when I was 4 years old. I grew up at Lakes Entrances until I was 19 years old. I moved to Sydney for work which was office duties which is where I me my husband. I married my husband in 1995. We had our first child my daughter Brianna at the age of 27 and my son Jackson at 31 years old. I have 3 beautiful grandchildren arlo who is 1 and Luca who is 3 I enjoy reading to them as they get so much enjoyment out of it. I returned to work as a home based child carer for 4 years.

I lost my father in 2006 which is when I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I found it hard to go back to work with the diagnosis so I retired. I started doing different crafts to keep me busy from colour by numbers, knitting scarfs and making hair accessories for little girls where I sold them at markets, which did help me.
