Farewell Announcement
"After 20 years presenting weather on 9News, I've decided to step back from this role," she said. "My sons will both be in high school, and I want to be there to support them. It's been a privilege to be welcomed into viewers' homes for so long, but this is the right time for my family."

"Presenting the weather has shaped my life and career. I owe this role everything, but this is the right decision for me," she continued. "When I discussed it with our boys, they said, 'We're pretty excited to spend more time with you, Mum.'"
