My family have been farmers and pastoralists for over 100 years, and I have had the opportunity to be raised on an outback station near Kalgoorlie and was schooled in Perth. During school term, we spent weekends at the farm in Gingin and holidays back at the Station, so I am used to hard work, and I certainly know how to get my hands dirty. In the agricultural sector, I have personally done the following:

• Motorbike Mustering
• Shearing (shed hand, wool classing, drenching)
• Cooking for many (and good!)
• Lamb Tailing inc mulesing
• Feedlot cattle, cattle ear tags, assist in cattle births, hay baling, tractor driving, dairy farming
• Bookkeeping for family business
• Broad Acre farming
• Banksia Flower (Hookeriama) cutting and stripping
• Vineyard training
• Table Grapes

After completing a Travel Diploma, I did my Australian duty and left Perth to travel overseas. It was only meant to be a 6 month adventure, and after 4 years I returned permanently to Perth. In London I worked in Hospitality then secured employment with a large healthcare corporation in their African Marketing Division. This employment gave me the opportunity to save and use my holidays to travel quite extensively over this period to European and African countries (with my backpack!). Back in Perth, I have been in the Recruitment Industry now a total of 24 years and run a busy life with an active 17 year old son.
