Her latest venture was Seven Network?s Outdoor Room where she worked along side Jamie Durie and also runs a successful Garden design and horticultural consultation service in the inner suburbs of Sydney and in her spare time enjoys the arts, music and has been playing drums for the past 12 years in various bands.
