How long have you been living in the area?

We moved to the area in mid-2018 from Southeast Melbourne into Bright. Soon after we moved to the Wandi Valley where we call home.

What do you do for a living?

My role is an insurance broker for Ovens Valley Insurance Brokers (OVIB to some). As a broker, my role addresses various facets in the insurance space including arrangement of insurance policies for businesses, homes, motor vehicles, liabilities and various other cover types. My role extends to include assisting clients with the management of their claims and liaising with insurers with information required to support claim positive outcomes.

What are your hobbies and interests?

Most of my hobbies and interests are heavily linked to my family. I enjoy time in the garden growing fruit and veggies – love growing a spicy Chilli. Having said that, I dislike weeding (as do we all). Come winter, you’ll find me up the hill with my family at Hotham or Falls Creek. Outside winter, I enjoy a pedal in the Mystic bike area. But as mentioned, spending quality time with our family at town events, out for dinners or time spent together around home.

What do you like about the area?

We live in a really supportive community. We have so many options when it comes to our own lifestyle, events to attend, activities during all seasons; all of which we really appreciate the hard work that goes into them from and by the community.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Where to begin? There are so many activities throughout the whole Ovens Valley and where I would take them would depend on their interests. The cafes, markets, the mountain walks, are just a handful of the many places to venture and showcase.
