Managing partner at Capital Chemist Wanniassa; member of both the PGA and PSA ACT Branch Committees; the only pharmacist member of the ACT Health and Capital Health Network; Lifeline support worker; Pharmacists’ Support Service support worker; not to mention the numerous post-graduate qualifications she’s completed.

She scooped three awards at the 2017 ACT Telstra Business Woman Awards:

• 2017 Telstra ACT Business Woman of the Year
• 2017 Telstra ACT Business Women’s Entrepreneur Award winner
• 2017 Telstra ACT Young Business Woman of the Year

And to top it all off she was named the National 2017 Telstra Young Business Woman of the Year!
