What do you do?

I operate two beautiful childcare centres in central Maroochydore called Out & About Care & Education with fabulous team members and many lovely children and families. I have been involved in this sector for about 40 years and as they say, it’s not work if you love it!

What would you do if you weren’t in your current career?

My other big love, is renovating properties. My husband and I have done quite a few over the years – way before it became a staple television offering. I also have a consultancy business where I get to design childcare centres and playgrounds, which affords me the opportunity to use those creative design skills for other children and communities across Australia.

When you have visitors where do you take them to show off our beautiful region?

We mix it up and take people up to the hinterland, or to a variety of stunning spots along the coastline for fabulous meals and enjoyable days out, such as the little pockets of shops and parks
