I was born and raised on a small farm in the countryside of Taranaki, New Zealand with my parents and three siblings. My dad owned a building business and my Mum did the bookwork. My parents were hard workers and always had many projects on the go at the same time. I think this helped shape me today to give anything a go and think outside the box.

After school I moved to Dunedin to study a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Finance and Economics at Otago University. Once I finished my degree in 2012, I decided to spread my wings and moved to Perth on my own. I worked for a few months at an agricultural machinery company before landing a job at a financial planning firm as a receptionist.

From here I have worked in administration, client services, paraplanning and I now manage the paraplanning team to come up with the best financial strategy for individual clients and maintain our high compliance standards at Blueprint Wealth. I have always been a natural with numbers and this is where my strengths lie. Now I get to couple this with motivating a team of individuals to work together which I really enjoy.

After five years in Perth I moved back to New Zealand to be closer to friends and family and continue to work remotely for Blueprint Wealth who I have now been with for over 7 years. I live with my partner and have two small dogs. In my spare time I love finding new places to take my dogs for a walk, painting and playing squash.
