I have been proud to represent Newcastle in the NSW Parliament since 2014, first standing in a by-election and re-elected in 2015, 2019 and 2023. I grew up in Moruya with two brothers and my parents, who were both public school teachers. I first came to Newcastle for university and fell in love with the city, later marrying a local and now raising our four kids here. Before I was elected I worked in disability care, community education and mine safety, and also served on Newcastle council for eight years. I have held positions on the boards of Northern Settlement Services and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. When I’m not working you’re most likely to find me on a surfboard, being a soccer dad, or getting out and about enjoying our fantastic city!
