Overview - Summary

I was an experienced Centre Manager who has been working in the Shopping Centre industry for 25+ years in WA. I have spent a large amount of that time working for a private landlord under two stints, overseeing two of its assets where I was single handedly responsible for all facets of managing circa 17,000sqm of GLA. In that role I covered All aspects of Accounts and Bookkeeping including AP, AR, Reconciliations, Payroll, BAS to the Accountant, Budgets, Audits, Monthly reporting, Journals, Administration. Along with this I also covered Reception, Facilities Maintenance, Marketing, and Leasing and saw the assets through two developments. I have a mix of hands-on experience, combined with my recent personal development, I am committed to staying current and enhancing my skill set. Throughout my career, I’ve been able to deliver successful outcomes by focusing on building and nurturing strong relationships with all stakeholders. My approach is rooted in open communication, empathy, and understanding, ensuring that both tenants and management teams feel heard and supported.
