Committed to our Community

---

Orange is more than just my home; it's  where my family thrives. I grew up here, and I have watched the city grow from strength to strength and I am so excited for our future. 

As a mother with a young family I am driven to make a positive impact in our community,  ensuring our children have a safe and fulfilling city to grow up in. 

I believe in community-driven leadership and I'm committed to ensuring everyone's voice is heard and valued. My priorities include affordable housing, community safety, improved infrastructure, inclusivity, better play spaces for our children, environmental sustainability, and enhanced communication between council and residents. 

I look forward to connecting with more members of our community as I share my vision and plans. I know together, we can create a brighter future for all of us.  

Orange is where I not only live, it’s where my heart lies. It’s where my Grandparents, one set immigrants, raised their families, and from where my values have been shaped and then evolved.

I am determined to ensure all voices are heard, their opinions valued, and ideas listened to. I’m a strong advocate for transparent, open lines of communication between council and the community and want our choices and decisions to enhance not just the lives of the current residents, but those residing in our town far into the future.

Together, we can ensure it’s a future we can all be proud of.

I am a dedicated advocate and leader within Orange's community services sector. I have a strong focus on domestic violence, mental health and suicide prevention supports in the Orange area.  I bring extensive experience, advocating and pioneering innovative programs that benefit our community. I am committed to highlighting the importance of intersectionality, trauma-informed care, and work in primary prevention strategies.

I offer proven leadership, strategic vision, and a heartfelt dedication to enhancing community well-being and safety. I will hone my skills and work to increase affordable housing options for our community.

I am passionate about making a positive impact and fostering a resilient and inclusive community for all residents.

 I'm genuinely excited about our town's future, and my priorities align closely with Tony's. We're committed to ensuring that essential services such as water, sewer, and garbage management are adequately equipped to handle our town's rapid expansion. Including improving traffic flow management to reduce bottlenecks, ensuring a comfortable stay for our visitors and reliable services for our residents.

  I understand in the importance of opening lines of communication up between residents and the council to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard and that we work together to address community needs effectively. 

 I believe in a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to addressing matters, prioritising clear, effective solutions to meet our community’s needs. 

Orange is a city that is truly in my blood. My family has been a part of this city for generations. I want Orange to be a city where people are proud of its history, be energetic for the future of its community and wholeheartedly pursue and celebrate our diversity.

The people of Orange deserve a healthy, aspirational, thriving city, where they feel safe to live, work, study and play whatever their age. I welcome new ideas and perspectives by valuing clear and open communication.

I will work as an advocate for the community in a collaborative way where everyone supports, encourages each other, working together towards a city that thrives when everyone plays their part.

I may be a small Dachshund, but I’ve got a big heart and an even bigger personality! 

Tony adopted me when I was 3 years old, and we've been best buddies ever since (about 9 months now). 

My presence is a reminder of the importance of compassion, and my playful spirit encourages everyone to find joy in the little things.

Tony believes that every member of our community, furry friends included, deserves a chance to thrive. I’m excited to be a part of this wonderful journey as we work together towards a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
