"Is what I have right for me?" and "Am I doing all I can to make the most of it?" These are powerful questions—rooted in a desire for clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. My role is to help you turn those questions into a clear plan of action, aligned with your goals, values, and the life you want to live.

I’m passionate about developing long-term relationships with my clients, built on trust, education, and clear communication in plain English. Navigating the emotional ups and downs of investing can be challenging, and I pride myself on providing the support and guidance needed at every step.

I have a strong interest in aged care planning and take satisfaction in assisting clients and their families as they navigate the complexities of this significant life stage. From understanding care options and associated costs to evaluating financial considerations and crafting strategies to fund care, I strive to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Outside of work, I love spending time in the great outdoors. Whether it’s enjoying the beach or exploring the outback, you’ll find me swimming, running, or cycling. You may even find me out and about doing ultra-marathons, triathlons or simply relaxing by a campfire with a glass of wine under the stars.
