My finance and banking career began over 25 years ago, against the backdrop of the most turbulent economic landscapes – from the global financial crisis to the Covid-19 pandemic. These experiences taught me the invaluable art of navigating uncertainty with a steady hand and clear vision.
In 2019, I transitioned from banking to mortgage advising with Loan Market, before establishing my own practice. This move allowed me to deepen my commitment to providing a personalised service that honors each client’s unique journey.
My practice is guided by the principle “Kia Tau Te Mauri, Kia Wātea Te Ara” – to thrive with confidence and navigate with clarity. Having weathered financial storms throughout my career, I understand that property and business financing can feel overwhelming. My role is to transform these complex processes into clear, manageable pathways, ensuring my clients move forward with both confidence and peace of mind.
The best advice I ever received is to do what you love and love what you do. I’m incredibly grateful that this mahi allows me to combine my financial expertise with my genuine passion for helping people prosper – whether they’re purchasing their first home, expanding their property portfolio, or growing their business.
