Let's head to the the rural centre of Deniliquin, sitting on the beautiful Edward River in the Southern Riverina, to meet local powerhouse, Chantelle Shevels. Chantelle wears many hats, including owner of Grassroots Finance, ex-President of the Deniliquin Show Society, and long-term Rural Fire Service Volunteer.
What's most inspiring about our conversation is Chantelle's passion for Deniliquin - or Deni as it’s more commonly known - her can-do attitude, her positivity and her collaborative nature. As you will hear, Chantelle loves a good mantra - including “don’t let a good disaster go to waste” or “be the change you want to see”.

After the interview, I was lucky enough to get a guided tour of the Deniliquin Show Grounds on the river bank - and I advise all our listeners to get themselves to Deni for a visit.
