How We Help

Your strong female voice for Family Law matters in the Hunter Valley

I know the strength it takes to lead a life on the land

Hailing from five generations of farming in the heartland of the United States of America (Nebraska), a shearing family from Garah on my maternal side and having grown up in regional NSW and QLD, my roots in rural life run deep

Now based in the heart of the Hunter Valley with my husband, a fourth-generation farmer from the Riverina, I understand both the beauty and burdens of country living first-hand. My in-depth knowledge of the agricultural issues faced by farming families and my steadfast connections with the women around me have cultivated my career as a lawyer. The backbone of our nation, rural communities are rich in resilience and solidarity – yet accessing Family Law services is still a challenge that many rural women have to bear. Know that you are not alone, wherever you may be. Here to empower marginalised women across regional Australia, I am rolling up my sleeves and breaking down the barriers to legal support on the land I have always called home.
