What do you love outside work:
I Love being on the Farm away from the hustle of the work week to rejuvenate and enjoy life. Camping I think is a lot of Aussies escape as well, so how could I not enjoy that.

Since day 1!
What you love about CWC:
Our team! We have got a great bunch of people who are like-minded in delivering high quality service and products to our clients. Both in and out of the office, our team are always up for a good time - some even like to play practical jokes on the bosses, especially around State of Origin time!
What do you love outside work:
Farm life and family! I live on 200 acres and I love all that there is to love about a rural lifestyle, including the half hour drive in/out of town. My family and I love travelling and camping, getting out to see the areas where not many people go to. We've done a couple of treks in Australia and looking forward to hitching the camper on sometime soon!
SHARE A FUN OR UNUSUAL FACT ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOUR COLLEAGUES MAY NOT KNOW:
I'm a songwriter - I write a song most weeks and meet up with a group of Aussie singer-songwriters weekly to write songs with and for everyone. Even have a couple of co-written songs on the short list of a few artists!
What You Do:
I'm not really sure anymore, we have such a wonderful team that support me in every aspect of CWC however I still seem to never be on top of my workload.
Years in the Biz:
CWC started in my kitchen, so I have been involved since day one, but officially part of the team since 2013.
What you love about CWC:
Our big friendly CWC family is my favourite part about coming to work every day.
What do you love outside work:
I love family time, so having extended family spend time with us on our beautiful property would be my favourite. I am also a bit of a gym junkie so you'll find me at BFT most days, but if I am not there, then I am probably running my teenage children to work, footy training, netball or their friends’ houses.
