Rural Financial Counsellor

I’m happy to have recently returned home to the Leeton community, after 34 years. I was raised in a farming family and educated at Leeton High School. Growing up locally has given me a genuine understanding of the unique challenges faced by farming families and primary producers, both professionally and personally.

I bring over 28 years of experience as a business owner in the hospitality industry, where I experienced firsthand what it truly means to own and operate a business. Long hours, tight margins, staffing pressures, cash flow challenges, rising costs, compliance requirements, and the constant need to make sound financial decisions were all part of daily life. That experience gave me a deep appreciation of how overwhelming business finances can feel when you’re already stretched thin trying to keep everything else running.

After selling my business in 2020, I completed a Certificate IV in Bookkeeping and Accounting to formalise the knowledge I had gained through decades of business ownership. My goal was simple to help small businesses better understand their numbers, not just for compliance, but to support informed decision-making, reduce stress, and plan with confidence.

Now back home, I’m passionate about helping our local farmers and primary producers and becoming an active part of my community. I’m committed to helping clients grow their businesses and plan confidently for the future.
