Fiona was born and schooled in Brisbane. She has a Bachelor of Communication (Journalism and Marketing) and early in her career worked as a radio and television journalist in regional centres and in Sydney.

Fiona lives at Coorparoo with her young family, after having previously lived at Greenslopes, Stones Corner and Camp Hill. She is Civic Cabinet Chair of Finance and City Governance and was also the first member of the Lord Mayor’s Cabinet to have a baby while in this leadership position.

With two young boys keeping her focused on a better Brisbane for tomorrow, Fiona is passionate about striking a balance between affordability and liveability, as we prepare to be an Olympic city.
