My career path in financial planning was likely influenced by my enjoyment of the opportunity to be ‘backstage’ at someone’s success story.

I believe genuine joy stems from putting other people before oneself. This was the most important lesson I learned as a child, and it has stayed with me ever since.

Although I might use this space to list my qualities, interests, aspirations, and so on, I think it would be more useful to discuss what they all represent: a perpetual focus on the happiness of others.  Whether on a personal or professional level, people are my passion, the core of my aspirations, and what brings me joy.

I am a Sunny Coast girl through and through, growing up as a dairy farmer’s daughter in Yandina.  Fast-forward a number of years, and my husband and I have a house full of children, and I’m still calling it home.

Outside of work, you will find me surrounded by my family and nature. I may secretly be found talking to our flocks of chickens, quails, or guinea fowls, or discussing the world’s problems with our goats. Oh, and cooking – how could that have slipped my mind? Cooking is definitely a passion too!
