Summary

I'm very passionate about empowering clients with the knowledge and solutions they need to secure a robust financial future. I've honed my expertise in customer relationship management, ensuring that every interaction leads to informed and confident financial decisions. Transitioning from McDonald's management to mortgage brokering, the skills cultivated in leadership, communication, and problem-solving translate seamlessly into my current role. My focus is on providing personalised experiences and simplifying the mortgage process for our clients, particularly those purchasing their first home.
