<span style="color: #389638; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">**Background: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I was raised by my parents on a farm in Wodonga with my 3 siblings. I was taught from a young age how to read the weather signs and where is best to plant crops. I spent hours with my Dad raising sheep and horses and completing all the chores I had set out around the farm. ** <span style="color: #389638; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I now live on a farm in Seymour, Victoria with my husband Matt and my 2 children. I'm on the local council committee in Seymour and my farming neighbors always come to me for advice. ** <span style="color: #389638; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">I studied agricultural science throughout uni, to further develop my ** **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> ability to contribute to my farm and the community. I'm greatly looking forward to assisting in building a new community using my skills. **

<span style="color: #389638; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 130%;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Oh and one last thing that I have to let you know about me is the fact that I always wear my lucky chopstick in my hair, or carry it on me. The story behind my lucky chopstick is my Dad hand made my chopstick for me when I was 5 years old, he has the other chopstick, which makes me feel like wherever I am, I am carrying a piece of him with me and ma<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">ki ** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">ng him proud.
