Our Gal – Dianne Collie

March 16, 2017 by Maggi Barnard

Dianne Collie

How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here?
My husband and I moved here just over seven years ago. We both enjoy country living in this pretty town where people are friendly.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work? I work as a reporter for The Forbes Phoenix. I feel so lucky to be able to work within our community to cover amazing stories and meet people who really care, and are passionate about what they do. I also run a human resources business, SOS Consulting, which I enjoy because my support ensures business owners are best positioned to make sound, independent decisions to ensure their business success.

What do you do to unwind after work and on weekends? Lots of different things: there has not been a day lately I haven’t had a swim in our pool; I enjoy walking around the lake or in one of the national parks close by; and kayaking. When I don’t feel as energetic you will find me with a book in hand or playing a word game on my iPad.

What are you really good at? Being a wife, mum and friend.

What is your pet hate? Thinking there is one more chocolate left – and it has already been eaten!
