Affiliations

My hobby is horse riding, I have property and have agisters here which pays for my horse habits. Even in my spare time I evaluate how to financially succeed.

We also travel at least once a year either overseas or in our caravan. We have just spent 4 months travelling around Australia, and ticked off one of our bucket list.

Accomplishments

  • As a swimming instructor, I taught for 10 years while my children were at school. I specialised in the higher levels, predominantly Bronze Medallion. When I was leaving I received a call from the Education Department asking me no to leave, because my teaching technique worked so well. My small team and I received a letter from Aquinas College complimenting us on our teaching and our care with the young adults.
  • Coordinated Redbacks basketball club for a few years and doubled the membership. Worked with some of the troubled kids and accomplished some massive changes.

Certification

  • Tax Agent License
