Gladys Berejiklian is the first Armenian descendant to be elected to the New South Wales Parliament. She was born and raised in Sydney after her parents immigrated to Sydney, Australia in 1960. She has 2 sisters and 2 godchildren.

Berejiklian attended local schools in Ryde and Willoughby, as well as the Saturday School at Willougby Primary School to learn the Armenian language. She is active in community organizations in Willoughby and Chatswood.

Berejiklian has a Bachelor of Arts (1992), a Graduate Diploma in International Studies (1996) from Sydney University and Master of Commerce from the University of New South Wales (2001). She served a term on the Armenian National Committee of Australia. In 2000, she visited the USA as a delegate from the Australian Political Exchange Council.

Berejiklian joined the Liberal Party in 1993 and was President of the New South Wales Young Liberal Party in 1996. This was a most notable victory as there have only been four female Young Liberal Presidents in the party's history.

She also served as a Delegate to State Council (1996-2003), Urban Representative of the NSW Liberal Party State Executive (1997-2003), Campaign Director for State seat of Willougby (1999) and Chair of Convention Committee (2002).

Prior to her election to Parliament, Ms Berejiklian worked for Hon Peter Collins QC and Senator the Hon Helen Coonan, and as a Manager of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

[edit] Edits by Bradburden

I just cleaned up a heavy POV edit from last year by user Bradburden, who used words like "Iemma Government's failure" and described Berejiklian as "proven very effective". I note that a Brad Burden is among the Liberal Party staffers thanked in a NSW Liberal member's 2005 speech ... 121.44.44.45 (talk) 07:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
