How long have you lived in or around Forbes and what do you like about living here? I’ve lived here all my life; I like that I can walk up the street and know lots of people. It’s a great community when anyone needs help.
What was your first job? My first job was tennis coaching. I played a lot of tennis and used to help with coaching.
What makes you laugh the most? My husband and grandchildren.
If money were no object, what would you do with your time? Play golf.
Describe your dream holiday? Family and friends by the sea.
What is a favourite childhood memory of yours? Probably our family holidays down at Narrabeen.
If you could live in any time or place, where and when would that be? I think I would love the Sunshine Coast, maybe 10 years ago, before COVID-19. Forbes is a lovely spot, but the coast would be great for the weather.
If you could share a meal with any three people, past or present, who would they be? My Nana Toole, my husband, and my father-in-law.
If you could have a superpower, what would it be? To make people in the world more tolerant of other people’s choices.
What is your pet hate? People who judge others without trying to understand.
