Mary moved to Hilltops over 20 years ago with her husband. They have appreciated raising their 3 sons in Young with easy access to many sporting and musical opportunities. Having served in different capacities on various local committees, and on the Board of the Young Regional Conservatorium, Mary has first-hand experience of the commitment and dedication of people in local communities to provide opportunities, create enjoyable environments and support others. Her experiences as an educator and in administration have given her useful skills for navigating the complex Council environment.

Mary believes that local government functions most effectively when residents, Councillors and Council staff work together, listening and collaborating to provide the best outcomes. She is committed to being available to connect with residents, to listen to different perspectives on issues facing Hilltops, and to carefully consider all decisions.

Mary loves living in Hilltops, a caring and forward-thinking community, and is excited to be involved at the Council level.
