I am an independent experienced Aged Care Navigator and have worked in the industry for over 20 years.
I am a country girl and have strong ties with the regional communities. My grandmother lived until she was 99 years and my beautiful Mum in her 80’s is living her best life. She plays Bridge 3 x times a week and I play too whenever I can which keeps me connected to older people.
I spend my spare time talking to people about their options and choices as they age. It seemed a natural progression to combine my experience and something I love and create a business model around this idea. My close friend and mentor Peggy Strudwick gave me a push 🙏🏼
