About

I grew up in Lindisfarne and for some years on a property along Acton road. Now Ali and I are raising our own family on the Eastern Shore.

Throughout my career I have worked extensively in health care in Australia and overseas. A podiatrist by training, I have also worked in practice management and health workforce planning.

These skills and insights are useful on council, particularly with all the public health aspects of local government.

Professional qualifications

• Masters of Health Administration (UNSW)

• Grad Cert Health Services Management (UNSW)

• Bachelor of Health Science (Podiatry)

Personal interests

For recreation I love canoeing, especially first thing in the morning when the Derwent is a millpond and I really appreciate great coastal walks.

I believe in choice, thrift, reward for effort and that local decisions are best made at the local level. Equality of opportunity is a value I hold dear. All Tasmanians should have the chance to reach their full potential particularly when it comes to health and education.
