SALLY BELFORD

Yarra Glen

Summary

With over 20 years of comprehensive experience in the wine industry, encompassing viticulture, oenology, marketing, business, and management, I have honed a diverse skill set. Concurrently, I have developed exceptional time management and communication skills through 20+ years of parenting four children. In 2020, I transitioned to a nursing career, where I bring agility, humility, resilience, and a commitment to excellence to my current role in a rural health setting. The strength of community and support from the multidisciplinary team has fuelled my passion for rural and regional health.
