I was born in Adelaide but grew up in country Victoria in Nhill. Previously I was a hairdresser and I am excited about my career change in the reception role at Life Care Active. The move back to Adelaide from the Whitsundays has been prompted by my partners work. I enjoy getting back to Victoria to see my family and friends and also up to Mannum to spend time relaxing at the family shack. I look forward to meeting as many Life Care Active clients in 2014 and then the challenge of learning everyone’s name in 2015.
