With more than 30 years of experience across diverse business and financial leadership roles, I bring depth, perspective, and unwavering professionalism to my role as Director of Firebird, an authorised Financial Services Provider.
I am a Certified Financial Planner with a Master’s Degree in Business Management, and I am known for my belief that knowledge is power and excellence is non-negotiable. This philosophy underpins my approach to advice – thoughtful, well-researched, and always aligned to what truly matters to my clients.
Over the past seven years in financial planning, I have developed a strong specialisation in holistic financial planning, with particular focus on post-retirement planning, investment management, estate planning, and employee benefit schemes. My advice is never transactional; it is structured to support long-term security, clarity, and confidence.
Beyond my professional achievements, I am deeply people-focused. I am a proud mother of two professionally qualified adult children – my greatest personal achievement, and I am passionate about building long-lasting, trusted relationships with my clients. I believe that financial advice is ultimately about stewardship: caring for families, protecting legacies, and empowering individuals to make informed decisions.
Giving back is an integral part of my personal and professional values. I actively support initiatives focused on the elderly, the less fortunate, and community outreach, believing that meaningful impact and legacy extend far beyond financial success.
I provide holistic, client-centric financial planning solutions focused on long-term stability, protection, and growth.
When I am not working with clients, I enjoy spending time in nature, hiking, gardening, reading, travelling, and sharing meaningful moments with loved ones – all of which contribute to my balanced and compassionate approach to life and business.
