What is something people don’t know about you?
My jobs. I had my own dancing school for 33 years.
I started full time work in general credits at Melbourne Wire Works.

Geelong winning the 2007 AFL Grand Final.
What would your last meal be?
A roast.
What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness?

Why is Neighbourhood Watch important to Greater Dandenong?
NHW is very important to me as we, as a community, have to all look out for one another.
NHW Greater Dandenong brings our local police to talk to us at four forums each year.
The group is working closely with Greater Dandenong Council and police to make it a much better place.
What is your favourite book?
The Bible.
What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?
That is a hard one.
Geelong Football Club players Joel Selwood, Gary Ablett, Patrick Dangerfield, my grand-daughter Stacey, my daughter Nerolee and my Dad, who is deceased.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
There have been too many to mention.
At school I…
…went to Noble Park State School and Killester College.
