I am inspired and ignited by making a difference whether with people, animals, or the environment.

To create a purpose filled life, with intention.

I have lived in Nottingham Road for 20 years.

My dream for Nottingham Road is to maintain the pristine environment, the rolling green hills, beautiful wildlife, clean water, and big beautiful blue skies!

I dream of Madiba’s united rainbow nation, brimming with possibilities.

I dream of safety and security, especially for our women and children.

I dream of empowerment, upliftment and crushing poverty. Of rich and fruitful education for all.

I dream of a community united and celebrated by its diversity and rich cultural differences. Where we are all winners, supporting each other.

United by humanity. Better together.

My passion for working with animals and being immersed in nature fuels my spirit and revitalizes me. Whether in the bush or grasslands, these natural spaces are my sanctuary, where I find peace and recharge my energy.

Since 2004, I have called Notties my home, and it has been a privilege to be part of this community. Working alongside like-minded people who share my love for nature and animals inspires me daily.

My dream for Notties is a town where the respect for Mother Nature is paramount, and the importance of biodiversity is deeply understood. I envision a community where people respect one another, where safety is guaranteed for both animals and humans, and where everyone has a home with a garden. Let's work together to create a harmonious and respectful environment for all.

I am passionate about the children in the area, their wellbeing, their nourishment and their education.  I love to help all those less fortunate than us, love to talk and make time for others.  I love walking, riding and enjoying the beauty of our country.

My inspiration is for everyone to live in peace and harmony.  I believe God created us all equal.  I get inspired by my friends, my church and time spent alone communing with God.

I moved to Nottingham Road at the age of 1 and love my home village, I am certainly here to stay!

My dream is to see a beautiful, clean village, with everyone living in harmony.  No hunger. No poverty. A village with thriving businesses and productive schools with people from all over the world being able to call this their home.

My love for people and my passion for serving others is what drives me and inspires me.  Seeing a problem and being able to connect this with a solution is my most favourite thing in this life!  I enjoy a challenge and working in our community in so many different areas is exhilarating.

My family roots are in the area and I spent many a weekend and holiday with my Gogo on her farm in Connington, this connection drew me back to the area and my husband and I have been a part of this community for over 20 years, being blessed to be able to raise our beautiful children here.

There is something very special about small towns, and my dream for this community is to see us striving together for a common goal, one where we all benefit from the beauty of where we live and work to protect this 'country life'.  My dream is for all people to see others with grace and compassion as we all work together to make a difference.
