I began my real estate journey in August 2021 as a candidate property practitioner with Harcourts Advantage, following over 14 years of experience in accounting, where I honed my skills in auditing, financial management, and cost accounting. While building my financial career, I was also deeply involved in animal welfare, dedicating significant time to causes close to my heart.
In 2021, I made the bold decision to pivot into real estate—a career shift that has been life-changing in the best possible way. I quickly fell in love with the industry, realizing that each day would bring new challenges, rewarding adventures, and the chance to turn clients into lifelong friends. From selling entire complexes to setting up Body Corporates, I dove headfirst into learning every aspect of real estate, driven by an insatiable desire to grow.
By 2024, I had proudly earned my status as a fully qualified property practitioner and decided to specialize in the areas I’m most passionate about—Commercial and Industrial real estate. My role has since expanded to include setting up new retail and commercial developments from scratch, and I've developed a natural eye for identifying high-yield investment properties. Currently, I am the only Harcourts agent working nationwide on acquisitions for large private investors and publicly listed companies.
The thrill of matching the right building to a client’s portfolio, calculating the potential returns, and seeing a project come to life gives me a sense of fulfillment like no other. Commercial real estate has not only leveled up my career but also enriched my personal growth. I am incredibly grateful for the connections I’ve made along the way, many of which have blossomed into lasting relationships.
I continue to evolve, learn, and push boundaries every day. Loving what I do is a privilege, and I remain passionate about giving back to animal welfare by hosting fundraisers and supporting causes that ground me in gratitude for the life I am fortunate to live.
