I live in Griffith, a suburb of Canberra in Australia. I work as a volunteer at Southside Community Services in Narrabundah also in Canberra helping with two groups for the elderly and do a variety of things there. I go to Wesley Central Uniting Church in Forrest.

I have a physical disablity called Cerebral Palsy, but I don't let it get in the way of me doing things that I want to do. About nine years ago I went through a difficult time mentally too. I go to a group called GROW to support me and really enjoy living now. I have a boyfriend and lots of friends and am so busy.

My Interests are anything creative from poetry to art and drama. I love socialising with friends and going to the movies, sometimes with friends and sometimes by myself.

My family live in the Riverina in New South Wales, another state in Australia. I see them about four times a year. There are five in my immediate family including mum and dad. I have a brother and a sister who is married with two boys.
