Introducing Michelle

A country girl at heart. 

Born and raised in Cootamundra, I now reside with my family in Jindera. 

My parents, grandparents and extended family embody the values of hard work, service to others, and loyalty. It is through them that my fierce desire for social justice and equity originates.

Throughout my life I have worked as a teacher, but have also played the role of coach, small business owner and advocate, all of which have required determination and persistence, and have taught me to be solutions-focused.

A quick google search of me will reveal that the last few years have not been easy for our family. After experiencing the horrors of an antiquated legal system I was not happy to sit back and let other children and families experience the same injustice that we did.

My response to that experience encompasses the person I am, and the values I represent:

If you see something that needs fixing, and you have the capacity to make positive change, you should.

So now I put myself forward as the community-backed independent candidate for Farrer, with the intent of bringing genuine representation back to this electorate.

I am a relatable and reliable representative of Farrer, passionate about equity for regional Australians.

I am here to listen, to learn and to lead through genuine representation, underpinned by being present and focused on the needs of our community.
