Born in the Sunshine State but raised in Canberra, I was happy to move to the Sunshine Coast in 1999 and finish my degree in Business at the Sunshine Coast University. After completing my CPA qualification I founded Asset Accounting from home in Currimundi before moving into our current premises in Dicky Beach.


I have been told that I have a knack for explaining accounting and tax issues in a way that the layman can understand; I think that it is just that I take the time to make sure people do understand exactly what is going on. I have a passion for business structuring and Self Managed Super Funds and get the most job satisfaction when a client is reaching their goals in the most efficient way.


Away from work, I like to spend time with my family at the beach or camping. I also sing and play guitar and follow the Canberra Raiders in the NRL.

I moved to the Sunshine coast 10 years ago from Canberra. I enjoy surfing, scuba diving, kite surfing and just hanging out at the skate ramp. I have 2 daughters who keep me busy and a husband who drives me insane. I look after all the ASIC corporate affairs.

I completed my Bachelor of Commerce, with a double major in accounting and financial planning, at the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2014. Upon graduation I was awarded with the Faculty Medal of Business for my high level of achievement in the School of Business. I started working at Asset Accountants & Advisers while completing my final year of study.


At home (and on my lunch breaks) I can often be found reading and especially enjoy fantasy adventure stories. I also enjoy gaming, and have even been to the OPL finals in Melbourne for LoL with my partner and friends, and in true e-girl spirit you can usually see me with bold hair colours. I love cooking and baking – I'm the go to in the family for birthday cakes. I adore my two miniature dachshunds and love watching them play and run around in the backyard.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, I made the move to Queensland in 2002  and have been working in the accounting profession ever since. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping clients understand their financial position with clarity and confidence, and joining Asset Accounting has allowed me to work closely with individuals and businesses across a wide range of industries.

As Senior Client Manager, my focus is on making accounting straightforward and approachable. I take pride in breaking down complex tax and business matters into simple, practical explanations so clients always feel informed and supported. Whether it’s guiding a business through compliance, helping with structuring, or simply providing day to day advice, I’m motivated by seeing clients reach their goals and feel more in control of their finances.

Outside of work, I enjoy everything Queensland has to offer — from getting outdoors with family and friends to exploring new places along the coast. I’m also a keen golfer and an enthusiastic fisherman, although I’ll happily admit I’m not particularly good at either. For me, it’s all about having fun, switching off, and enjoying the moment.

With over four decades of calling the Sunshine Coast home, I've cultivated a deep-rooted connection to this beautiful region that shines through in all aspects of my life. Holding a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from the University of the Sunshine Coast, I find immense joy in assisting clients to navigate their tax responsibilities with ease and confidence. Outside the realm of finance, I enjoy leisurely strolls along the coast and creating treasured moments with my family.

After completing my Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and becoming a Certified Public Accountant in the Philippines, I began my career working as an auditor and later as a fund accountant, gaining valuable experience across different areas of accounting and finance before transitioning into taxation and advisory.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active at the gym, watching movies, and travelling with my friends and family whenever I get the chance. I’m always looking forward to planning my next trip and exploring new places. I also enjoy playing video games and would consider myself a bit of a geek, especially when it comes to gaming, tech, and pop culture.

As a CPA based in the Philippines with over five years of professional experience, I’ve built a strong foundation in financial analysis, corporate tax compliance, and accounting support in the convenience store retail and franchising sector. My experience working closely with numbers and business operations in the Philippine setting eventually led me to expand my career by working with Australian accounting firms, where I now provide remote taxation and accounting services.


When I’m off the clock, you can usually find me cycling around town, enjoying live band performances at music festivals, and playing badminton with my siblings.
