AS an elected Member of the Victorian Parliament, Rikkie-Lee Tyrrell represents the constituents of the Northern Victoria Region, the largest electorate in Victoria. Although the environment is completely different to country life, Rikkie-Lee has found the diversity of Parliament House exciting and her transition to state politician to be a smooth one.
In the lead up to International Women’s Day on March 8, and as a working mum herself, Rikkie-Lee acknowledges the sacrifices that all working mums make juggling their careers with responsibilities at home.
“Every working parent struggles at times with the demands of both their professional and family lives, but like many my family and I have adapted to the change and have found a healthy balance by sharing responsibilities,” Rikkie-Lee said.
