Suburb: Kirwan
AKA: Deb
I’m renowned for: The volume of my voice and laugh – people can hear me before they see me!
Only a local would know: What an amazing part of the world we live in. If in doubt, move away for a bit and then come home. It gives you a fresh appreciation for how good we really have it.
My most memorable holiday was: I recently spent a week in Melbourne – we saw both Lorde and Sia live, visited wineries on the Mornington Peninsula, shopped and ate a lot of amazing food. Bliss!
My favourite day is: Christmas for sure. I love having my family and friends together. And I love to cook and entertain so being hostess on Christmas Day to a table full of my favourite people is something I look forward to all year
The biggest influence in my life was/is: Being a mum – I love hearing what the world looks like to my two children, and what they believe I’m capable of doing. It inspires me to keep pushing myself.
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was: So many stories – so few appropriate for publishing!
Someone famous I met was: Laura Geitz – she is such an inspiration to female athletes and netballers everywhere and was just so lovely to meet. We share a birthday and I always joke that we are birthday twins but when I met her I had nothing to say for once in my life!
My motto is: What you think about you bring about.
