Nepean Ward, Mornington Peninsula Shire
Tell us about yourself!
I am a proud trans woman and local resident of 50 years. I am standing for your vote for Nepean, so we get our fair share of services, better access, more accountability and transparency, and proper consultation on issues that matter from our Council. My background includes 7 years in the Royal Australian Navy, 10 years working as a taxi driver, and 30 years running my own businesses in IT and postal contract delivery. At the same time, I raised 4 children with my now ex-wife who I see regularly, and for a time, helped care for my aging Mother. I am a regular Volunteer at Rye Community House, helping to distribute food parcels, participating in local housing and environmental activities, and working with local representatives and the Council for greater local acceptance and understanding of LGBTIQ+ people. Please see my Lived Experience interview on Channel 31Bent TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODdue4KGH78 if you are interested in knowing more about me.
