Selena is famous for cooking Thursday night dinners at The Lorne Football Club during the season. Ask anyone about her barbecued ribs! Her love of cooking led her to try her own catering business for a time but her current position as events co-ordinator at The Cumberland suits her better.<\/p>\n
When Selena finished school in Lorne, she decided to follow her dream and began study to become a teacher. She soon discovered that it wasn\u2019t quite what she wanted and the excitement of travelling the world began to replace any thoughts of a teaching career. For the next five years that\u2019s exactly what she did. Her first stop was Hamilton Island where she worked for 12 months. Selena has lived in Canada, UK and Malaysia and has travelled extensively elsewhere. \u201cBut I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t get to Spain and Portugal.\u201c<\/p>\n
Her next move was to Ocean Grove, where she married and had her three boys. She landed the ideal job with Flight Centre and worked for them for ten years. How better to fulfil an ongoing passion for travel? \u201cThe highlight of my travelling for business was a trip to South America and in particular, Machu Picchu.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eight years ago she moved back to Lorne. Her boys are third generation Austin\/Waldings to attend the Lorne School. You don\u2019t have to look far to find her on committees: she has been president of Lorne Kindergarten, in the Parent Club, on Lorne School Council, Master Plan committee and uniform committee to name a few. \u201cI have a strong connection to the school here and am willing to offer support in any way I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
Family and friends are an important part of Selena\u2019s busy life. During the football season, you will see her running the canteen at weekends.<\/p>\n
