I was born and raised in Africa, in a tight-knit family with my parents and younger sister. In 2000, at just 10 years old, we migrated to Perth in search of new opportunities.

Growing up, I watched my dad run multiple businesses, and it gave me a front-row seat to what hard work and perseverance can achieve. I had the best teacher in this regard. My parents instilled the value of money in my sister and I from a young age — these are the same lessons I carry with me today, and I will pass onto my own children.

I was always drawn to sport and played cricket throughout school and beyond, and for a long time I imagined a career built around it. Then almost by accident, I stumbled upon my true calling through an unexpected avenue: a high school economics class and a stock market game that sparked my interest in investing.

A pivotal moment occurred when I visited a university open day during my last year of high school. Meeting a financial advisor there opened my eyes to the impact financial guidance can have and the growing need for high quality financial advice in Australia. Hearing about the positive changes it brings to lives inspired me to pursue this path.

My academic journey led me to complete a Bachelor of Commerce, with majors in Banking & Finance. Since completing my undergraduate studies, learning has been a constant as I navigate the ever-changing landscape of financial advice.

What keeps me engaged is helping people make smart decisions around their money, so they can live their best lives. That same drive carries into my personal life too — I’m committed to building a positive legacy for my family, friends, and community.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me walking along the coast, travelling with my family, trying new recipes in the kitchen, listening to music, or watching a movie.

Thanks for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I am excited to connect with you, understand your aspirations, and assist you in shaping your financial future.
