Barrister
These days I don a wig and gown for appearances in Western Australia's Supreme and District Courts.
I spent the first five years of my life at the Mount Magnet Aboriginal reserve. Coming to Perth I completed Year 11, went to business college, married and had five daughters before enrolling, aged 31, in UWA's Pre-Law program.
During my time at UWA, I won the highly-contested Gloria Brennan Scholarship for Aboriginal students. This scholarship was established in memory of one of the first Aboriginal graduates from UWA who was instrumental in setting up the Aboriginal Legal Service.
I am the first Aboriginal State Prosecutor. I am involved in the Indigenous Law Students Mentoring Program and have been elected to Women Lawyers of Western Australia.
