As a local mum, I know how important it is to support our local schools to give our kids the best start in life.

I made it a priority of mine in the 2025 State Election to secure funding for every school in our community - to ensure that no kid goes without. Locally, I am proud to be part of a government that delivers for education in Rockingham.
