I was fortunate to be born into a family of champions, which instilled in me a deep appreciation for sport and the power of the right mindset. I take great pride in the substantial charitable contributions made by both my father, Horace, and my great-uncle, Walter, throughout their lives.
A Lindrum lesson from my dad that has stayed with me: “If you do something, always do it well, and give back whenever you can.” I began my working life as a registered nurse, which grounded me, and to this day, I hold the greatest admiration and respect for our frontline workers. I could write a book about the stories of what anyone who works in a hospital faces, as well as the many rewarding moments when precious lives are saved or when simply holding someone's hand as they gently pass away.
After nursing, I spent 36 years of my life in the pharmaceutical industry in sales management and marketing roles, gaining experience and transferable skills that have greatly benefited me in life, coaching, and business.
While my passion was horses, polo, and tennis, my late Aunt Dolly ensured that I would keep the family name at the top of Australian legends and sporting hero memories, so I was fortunate to be coached by the best. Dolly Lindrum is loved by many and will never be forgotten.
I’ve recently had the privilege of helping launch the Women’s Billiards and Snooker Network, an initiative that is both close to my heart and long overdue. Co-founded with Australian billiards champion Julie Watson and backed by Lindrum Legends the Company, the Network is dedicated to creating more opportunities, increasing visibility, and fostering connections for women in cue sports, at every stage of their journey. I’m honoured to now serve as President, working to nurture the growth of the sport and empower the women who are shaping its future.
I hope to exceed expectations in representing cue sports while preserving my family’s heritage to the best of my ability.
Continuing the legacy
For those who believe in preserving sporting heritage while creating opportunity for the next generation, I warmly invite you to explore the work I’m involved in today—through my own platform and the Women’s Billiards and Snooker Network.
Together, we can help shape a stronger, more inclusive future for cue sports.

2019 World Billiards Championships Melbourne
I was fortunate enough to join Robby Foldvari in the commentary box for the start of the World Billiards Championship Final. Robby, alongside the legendary Walter Lindrum, is one of only two Australians to have won the World Professional Billiards Championship. Later, I had the pleasure of presenting Anna Lynch with her trophy after she triumphed in the World Women's Billiards Championship Final—congratulations, Anna!
I also had the opportunity to take some new friends on a trip down memory lane, visiting Walter Lindrum's billiards room. The Lindrum Legends extend congratulations to Peter Gilchrist on winning the world title. It was an incredible week for billiards, with many hoping to see the World Championships held in Australia again in the future.
Scotch Doubles teams Anna Lynch (Aus) and Rob Hall (UK) versus Judy Dangerfield (Aus) and Steve Mifsud (Aus) competed for the honour of deciding how the Walter Lindrum Grant would be used. Congratulations to Anna and Rob, who chose to direct the Grant towards supporting women's cue sports.

Ruby Roberts Victorian Women’s Billiards Finals
Congratulations to Julie Watson and runner up Shelly Ames for their remarkable play at the Ruby Roberts Victorian Women’s billiards state finals. I’m so honoured to present Julie with the winners trophy for the second year in a row. How proud Ruby Roberts would be to see our female talents in this world of diversity and inclusion.
Ruby was a female legend in the 1930s and so inspiring knowing that a male dominated sport didn’t stop her. Congratulations to Julie and all the players today.
Such a great event and a big thank you to Graeme Walters for making it happen at Cheltenham Billiards & Snooker Club in Victoria.

The Walter Lindrum Australian Open Billiards
Robby Foldvari and I were privileged to present the new Walter Lindrum Australian Open Trophy at the Yarraville Club. Dhvaj Haria played brilliantly, defeating Peter Gilchrist 1035–597 in a captivating three-hour final.
The trophy was donated by Robby, the 1985 Australian Professional Billiards Champion, and restored through my sponsorship. It now stands as a tribute to both the Walter Lindrum Australian Open and all past winners of the Australian Professional Billiards Championship.
