What makes you different?
Always seeking to establish a longer term business relationship with all of my clients. I am not in the business of securing a loan for someone and then sending them on their way. I ensure that they are happy with the initial loan and that it continues to fulfil the changing needs and expectations of the clients. I have a wealth of knowledge in banking, finance and mortgage broking and I use this knowledge to assess scenarios and give honest, open and direct feedback for my clients’ specific situations.

What makes you different?
Coming from a highly commoditized industry, I learned to go the extra mile to stand out—an approach I now bring to the lending world. As your finance broker, my goal is to provide you with a workable solution tailored to your objectives. If immediate success isn't possible, I'll help create a plan to get you there and won’t stop searching for the right outcome.
With experience across commercial lending, self-managed super loans, asset and vehicle finance, and residential lending, my passion lies in helping first-home buyers. I remember the uncertainty of entering the property market for the first time, and I love making the process smoother and more enjoyable. I'm proud to be part of Intrepid, where honesty and reliability are at the core of our service—reflected in our near-perfect client retention. I truly care for my clients and take pride in being their advocate for the long term.
