As a canefarmer and long-term local, I’m proud to introduce myself as the new Relationship Manager for the Proserpine region with Wilmar Grower Marketing. Having lived in Proserpine for the past 16 years, I know how much pride, resilience and effort go into every crop we grow.
My husband, Rob, and I run our own farming enterprise, so I understand the seasonal pressures, business decisions and hard work that come with producing cane in our region. That experience drives my approach to this role: practical, genuine support for local growers, backed by a company that understands the sugar industry from the ground up.
Before joining Wilmar Sugar and Renewables, I worked in marketing and communications across agriculture, tourism and local government, helping regional industries strengthen their connection with the communities they serve.
I’ve also spent many years volunteering in the region as a State Emergency Service (SES) member, Proserpine Lions Club secretary and former board member of the Whitsunday Chamber of Commerce. These roles have given me a deep appreciation for the people, values and teamwork that make our region so strong.
In my role with Wilmar, I’ll be working closely with Proserpine growers to provide clear information and guidance on pricing, nominations and marketing options. My goal is to help you make confident, informed decisions about your GEI Sugar – decisions that work for your farm and your family.
By choosing Wilmar Grower Marketing, you’ll have the support of a team that combines local knowledge with global market expertise, flexible pricing choices and tools that make marketing simpler and more transparent.
The nomination deadline for the 2026 Season is 31 October 2025, so now is the perfect time to review your options and see how Wilmar can support you.
I know how busy life gets during the season, so I’m always happy to come to you. Whether it’s a quick visit on farm or a chat over the phone, I’m here to help with pricing, payments and anything else that gives you peace of mind.
You don’t have to do it alone; we’re here when you need us.
