Please describe what you do professionally/what your business is.

Hanworth is one of Brisbane’s oldest houses, built in 1864, bought and renovated in honour of my mother in 2012, gutted by arson a few weeks from opening in 2013 and now offers professionals accommodation and events with purpose.

Why did you join Zonta – who’s vision is to empower women to reach their full potential?

I was asked to join Zonta by my boss who was herself a Zontian in 1997 when our club was formed, the first Zonta breakfast club. I love how Zonta connects women who believe that business exists to make communities better and how we can leave a footprint at the local and international level.

Member Since:  Charter member of this club 1997

Occupation: Chief Executive of Everything at Historic Hanworth House
