About Councillor Baker

As a resident of Pines Ward, Cr Baker is deeply invested in her community.

She has extensive leadership and management experience across multiple industry sectors in Australia and overseas, with a particular focus on customer service and experience.

Cr Baker has worked with organisations from start-ups to multi-nationals developing relationships to bring a focus on good governance and transparency. She believes this approach underpins robust outcomes for the residents of Frankston.

Her first term in local government provided invaluable experience and enabled her to build and establish relationships across the community.

As a life-long learner, she knows the value of staying curious, asking questions and being inclusive of all points of view. Her time on the Disability Access and Inclusion and Reconciliation Action Plan Committees saw progress in advancing contributions from both groups.

Cr Baker has a son and daughter-in-law, who both live in Frankston. Meg, the 4-year-old family spoodle, is a regular visitor to Keast Park dog beach.
