Say HELLO to...

GOVERNANCE PROJECTS
OFFICER
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE
PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT
YOU?
I came to Corrigin 18 years ago as the
Finance Officer for the Shire, from my
home town of Kojonup. At that stage I
thought I would stay for a year or two
at the most, so that it looked OK on my
resume. I somehow got stuck here
thanks to Bruce Talbot, who moved in
next to me at the singles flats (Melrose
Place)! The rest as they say is history
and we are coming up for our 10 year
wedding anniversary and have two
beautiful children to show for it.
