Ceased employment in July 2020 as Retirement Village Manager for 180 independent living units at Respect Living in Wangaratta, North East Victoria.

I have worked in the health field in different capacities over the years including Nursing, Medical Receptionist and Practice Manager for a specialist. I have also been a real estate sales person in Coffs Harbour for a period of 4 years. One of more interesting roles was as a commentator on the river boat Pyap moored at the Swan Hill Pioneer Settlement in 1983 (?) Even though the commentary on the history of the river and the settlement was the same each day, the response from the audience was unique each time.and all this was done in a period costume from the late 1890's.
