My husband is a local real estate agent specialising in commercial property and my children have attended local schools, so I know the area and the people really well. I've seen enormous growth and development in the area, including the North Ryde/Macquarie Park Corporate area, Top Ryde shopping precinct and retail development in Gladesville. These positive changes have brought demographic diversity and it is both challenging and exciting to keep pace with the changing needs of the local community."
