My background is in public health, now semi-retired. I have a long association with Kalk Bay as my mom was born here and I used to spend my December school holidays staying with my granny, who used to own Kob Cottage in Harris Road. I learnt to swim in the Station Pools and my first movies were at the Olympia. I love the sea and swim mainly at Danger Beach, Harbour Beach and Dalebrook as well as the mountains, where I hike regularly. I have now lived in Kalk Bay since 2008 and although a relative newcomer am keen to make it a better place for all.

I am recently retired from the private sector where I was responsible for social investment, primarily within the public health sector.
I grew up in Retreat and whilst our summer holidays were largely spent camping at Soetwater, near Kommetjie, this part of the world feels very much like home. My older brother took us up the mountain during school holidays and I have great memories of navigating Ronan’s Well with my brother and his friends. I’m not sure if my parents knew how treacherous these mountains are, but I am here today to tell the tale.
We have a unique opportunity to bring together diverse groups of people who live in the St James and Kalk Bay area and I feel privileged to be a part of building a community of people who respect the environment and are committed to unifying the diverse community that resides in this area.
