Kristine Travers

My name is Kristine Travers and I live in Traralgon South with my husband. Living in Traralgon South and the wider Latrobe Valley area has been a wonderful place to raise our three daughters. Not only do I live in Traralgon South, I also teach PE at the local school. I am very passionate about encouraging healthy lifestyles through sport and fitness and encouraging children to enjoy physical activity.

I enjoy going to the gym and am passionate about coaching netball. I coach netball for the Moe Football Netball Club and also for the Gippsland League. Whilst this is very busy at times, I thoroughly enjoy it and gain great satisfaction from coaching.

Being a part of the Latrobe Health Assembly has given me the opportunity to give back and contribute to this great area. There is no doubt the Latrobe Valley is facing significant challenges health wise for our population and a fresh approach needs to be taken to help educate and support people in our region. It is my greatest wish that through the work of the Assembly, significant health improvements and outcomes will occur. I look forward to seeing some of the fabulous ideas and initiatives my fellow Assembly members have suggested, becoming reality and helping improve the lives of people in this region.
