Like many rural women, Eliza Whiteley wears a few hats. Eliza studied optometry at Deakin University, before returning back to Central West NSW where she worked as a locum optometrist for many years supporting eye health in rural communities. This year she reached a new milestone as she began her own optometry practice in Dubbo, Whitely Optometry.
However, Eliza is also Co-Principal of Glenalbyn Santa Getrudis with her husband Jack and has grown up involved in Wellington Show. In 2023 she was named Wellington Show Society's Young Woman and went on to represent Zone 6 at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 2024. Eliza has some incredible insights about her journey in and out of the program. We hope you enjoy this chat.
