Rosemary is a proud, Whadjuk and Pindjarup woman with a solid ancient and historical connection to most of the southwest of Western Australia. She is a mother of two, a grandmother of ten, and a great-grandmother of one. Both of her parents were members of the Stolen Generations, and because of this, they raised Rosemary and her siblings in the bush, hidden from white people.

The family lived off the land, teaching Rosemary her culture and country well. Coming from a large Noongar family and having a strong connection to the community gave Rosemary a passion for improving the social and emotional wellbeing of the Aboriginal community.

Rosemary believes that all her knowledge and wisdom of country and culture are from her parents.
