On October 7 Goulburn Local Court heard that Little was pulled over by police for a Random Breath Test (RBT) in June, 2020 and cannabis was found in her system.
It was presented to the court that this was the fourth time Little had been charged for driving with an illicit drug present.
Solicitor Tracey Annan said her client had "numerous mental health conditions" and had been using the drug to self-medicate. She said Little had recently quit her job to care for her grandmother.
Magistrate Geraldine Beattie took Little's early guilty plea into account.
She said Little was already on a Community Corrections Order for assault, which required good behaviour.
"I accept there are a number of issues you are struggling with but the community is put at risk.
"You've got to address these issues."
Little received a $600 fine and her licence was disqualified for six months.
