At age 43 she is the mother and step-mother to three boys aged 12, 18 and 27 and a grand mother to a two-year old. She is an avid student of business, a member of the Entrepreneurs Organisation, a Fellow of the Public Relations Institute of Australia, a keen reader of fiction and business literature and a mentor and sounding board to several other business owners.
