Yep, that really happened! It still makes me smile thinking about it. I’ve always loved getting involved in fun community events, and I’m definitely the kind of person who will say yes to something a bit different, especially if it involves movement, laughter, and good people.

Something about me that not everyone knows is that I gave birth to my three children at home during planned homebirths. For two of my sons, we had a midwife present, and with my middle son, he arrived before the midwife got there! It was an empowering and special experience for me and my husband. Each birth was amazing and showed me how incredible our bodies are. A perfect day for me now would probably involve some beach or pool time, a massage, and a yummy meal out. I also relax and recharge by spending time in the sun, enjoying beautiful views, and doing some gentle movement.

I love drifting on a boat around the Whitsundys with good friends and good food. Catching up, enjoying wine and nibbles, and sharing the ups and downs of life is my idea of a perfect day. I often remember something a patient of mine said many years ago: “We all have the same destination, but we control the journey!” It’s a wonderful reminder to live life on my own terms.

I wear many hats—mum, wife, sister, daughter, and aunt—but most of all, I am me. I enjoy music (listening to and playing), reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family. These are the things that bring me joy when I’m not working.

Swimming has always been a huge part of my life. I love nothing more than diving into the water and swimming for an hour each day. It’s my time to unwind, move my body, and feel completely at peace. When I’m not in the water, I spend my time writing children’s stories—another passion that brings me so much joy. Life has been a healing journey for me, and I truly believe it’s never too late to heal, grow, and embrace new experiences.

I’m 45, married to Jason, who’s been by my side since high school. Our daughter, Letishia, is 21 now, and being her mum has been the joy of my life. I’ve spent the past two decades teaching swimming, focusing on infants, kids with autism, and beginner adults. I love watching my students overcome their fears and find confidence in the water, just as I have in other areas of my life.

Two years ago, I made a huge life change. I packed everything I owned into my car and drove from Melbourne to the Brisbane, where my sisters and their families live. I felt it was time for a fresh start. I’ve been working remotely for five years—three of those during lockdown and the last two on the Sunshine Coast in IT. I recently quit my job and am on the lookout for a new career!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to model your gorgeous swimwear. For me, confidence was not an issue as with a background in business development, marketing, events, celebrant, public speaking, I am used to be photographed as well as standing up in front of many people. In 2019 I was recognized and awarded a Sunshine Coast Senior Leadership Award – in recognition of previous years in initiating the establishment and structure of Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network, and running a women’s retiree group.
