Section name

I was born in South Africa, lived in the UK and now, happily, my family and I call Albury Wodonga home. 

I'm a reserved person with a strong sense of humour and love the bush, wildlife and animals in all shapes and sizes. 

Work is such a large part of life and working for a purpose is my greatest incentive. Identifying with the mission and values of the organisation I work with is essential.
