Queensland, Australia
I am passionate about business and tourism in the north west. My objective is to promote the opportunities available to businesses, increase visitation to our area through tourism and promotion and to effect change in the community with improved liveability and lifestyle. I can achieve this through my role in Commerce North West and through the contribution I make to several task force positions I currently hold.
