What drives your passion for your business?
Helping people achieve their property goals, whether it’s buying their first home, upsizing for a growing family, or selling to move into the next chapter, drives me every day. I love knowing I can make the process seamless, stress-free and rewarding.
Who or what has been your biggest influence in your journey?
The biggest influence has been my family and colleagues. Their encouragement and values have shaped the way I approach both business and life with honesty, hard work, and persistence.
How do you define success, both personally and professionally?
For me, success is not only measured in sales numbers but in the trust and long-term relationships I build. Personally, it’s about balance, being able to grow in my career while also being present for my loved ones.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
“Focus on people, not just property.” Real estate is about relationships, and when you put clients first, the results naturally follow.
What is your favourite thing about working in the Canberra region?
Canberra offers a unique mix of community and growth. I enjoy working in a market where new suburbs are evolving alongside established ones, and where people genuinely care about building a better lifestyle for themselves and their families.
If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Back yourself, be patient, and trust the process. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but consistency and persistence always pay off.
Do you have any hobbies or passions outside of work that keep you balanced?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. Sports and outdoor activities also keep me grounded and give me the energy to bring my best self to my clients.
What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you?
Many people are surprised to learn that I play cricket every Sunday. I am glad I could lead my team to a championship last season, recognised as the highest wicket-taker for the season. Also, I am a chef who enjoys cooking.
