Financial Adviser and Mortgage Consultant

The trajectory that led me to becoming a financial adviser really started back in high school.

In Year 10, I’d missed a lot of school due to illness, and my teacher told me I shouldn’t do maths because it would be too hard. That comment lit a fire in me—I wanted to prove him wrong. I wasn’t about to back down from a challenge.

Fast forward a few years, and I found myself interning with a financial planner. A client was facing a dilemma: their home desperately needed a new roof, but they also wanted to attend their son’s destination wedding.

They thought they had to choose between the practical and the personal. But the planner showed them that both were possible. Seeing the relief and joy on their faces at that moment made it clear to me—this is the work I want to do.

I’m privileged to be able to help people live their best lives and go beyond what they ever thought was possible. Hearing how people have achieved their goals of travel, education or being generally happier and more fulfilled through our help gives me all the job satisfaction I need.

When I’m not strategising or number crunching, you’ll find me travelling or being active on the soccer field, up a mountain or in the ocean.
