PASSIONATE ABOUT FAMILY & COMMUNITY
local and loving it
Jenny loves where she lives and simply could not imagine being anywhere else. Her desire is to see a sustainable and balanced approach to growth, that brings enhanced quality of life, while maintaining all the great attributes that make our home the stunning place that it is.
She is an enthusiastic, hard-working ‘people person’ with business acumen, commonsense and passion for serving the community. She seeks to drive and promote opportunities that enable us thrive as collective Communities.
Her business experience, volunteering within the community and co-parenting four school-age children has enabled her to see ways in which our community needs real, fresh, relevant and improved representation.
