I have a passion for business and love nothing more than to help business owners connect with the perfect accountant to assist them in better understanding their numbers and grow their business.
Firsthand, I have seen the amazing things our Accountants can achieve for our clients and I take great pride in my role in supporting our team and promoting our services so people are aware of the difference we can make to their business and the impact we can make to their lives.
I consider myself to be the quintessential intrapreneur because I work for Walsh Accountants as if it were my own business. I have enjoyed a distinguished career at Walsh and have gained vast commercial knowledge and skills in the areas of business development, communication, leadership, marketing, high level procedural development, and strategic planning and development – all whilst providing exceptional customer service to our current and prospective clients and network of associated professionals.

Personal Interests
My family is everything to me! I absolutely adore spending time with my husband and our daughters – catching as much of the gorgeous Gold Coast sunshine as we can. Often you will see us all cruising the waterways on our boat, wetting a line and enjoy the sand over on Wave Break Island.
As a Leo, naturally I am a cat person (dog lovers, please don’t hold that against me!)
I love to cook – hearty main meals are my speciality! Sharing a beautiful meal and some delicious wine with family and friends is time well spent and is good for the soul.
