  Westpac

  Apr 2011 - Nov 2018

  Westpac Premium is all about personalised service. I work closely with my clients to gain a genuine understanding of their financial situation and what their goals and aspirations are. I work within an industry specialised team and manage a portfolio of high networth clients predominantly in the Legal and Accounting Industry. I understand the specific needs and requirements for this type of industry and therefore tailor solutions to suit. Retail and Business banking focusses on the everyday needs of all Westpac customers through our branches. During this time I managed the branches most affluent clients, providing a dedicated service to assist with wealth creation. On a number of occasions I had the opportunity as an experienced staff member to take on the role of a Bank Manager. This allowed me to improve on leadership skills, and further promote my understanding of team engagement.

  The Straightening Salon

  Dec 2019 - now

  Company Director

  The Straightening Salon is a dedicated service to helping women feel empowered through healthy manageable hair, using safe and non-toxic products. "Living a busy lifestyle and becoming a first-time mum, I realised just how little time I had left for myself. This included something as simple as washing and blow drying my hair. Although, as most women would know this is no 'simple' task.It’s important for me to find solutions that save me time and it’s a huge advantage if I can also restore a bit of self-confidence in the process. Having my hair straightened does both of these! I permanently straightened my hair for the first time over 15 years ago and realising the instant satisfaction it gave me I then spent years recommending hair straightening to other women.Shortly after my son was born I started playing with the idea of a new career path and building a business to become the solution for so many time-poor women. I stepped away from my 8 year finance journey and commenced studying hairdressing!"Three years later after opening, I now own The Straightening Salon on the Gold Coast, Sydney and most recently, Brisbane.
