  Commonwealth Bank

  Business Insurance Specialist

  I joined the bank in 2005 and was lucky enough to be able to work within an extremely dedicated group of people servicing a unique group of people - small to medium size business owners across Adelaide and South Australia. This was a wonderful role where I met motivated people running their own businesses and making decisions that affected not only them but their staff members and extended families too. There's nothing like taking on the responsibility for others to appreciate the importance sound planning. Show less

  Director | Financial Adviser

  I am passionate about working with my clients to help achieve both their financial and lifestyle goals. For me, the most rewarding part of my day comes when clients are able to see beyond the "here and now"​ and see what is possible. I work collaboratively with my clients to attain a higher level of financial security and certainty through education and effective strategic and investment management which I believe are the keys to long term success. Being appointed as your adviser is the most trusted position I can be put in and I love to take the financial burden away from my clients so that they can focus on what's important to them and help make more meaningful memories.I focus my experience in helping clients maximise their wealth and achieve peace of mind and have a keen interest in assisting young professionals looking to establish their financial future as well as pre and post retirees navigate through a range of personal and financial decisions they face during this critical time.My Qualifications include:- Bachelor Commerce in Financial Planning and Investments (Griffith University)- Certified Financial Planner Status- Member of the Financial Planning Association Show less
