My role at Altitude
As a Financial Adviser at Altitude Wealth Management, I work alongside individuals and families to help bring clarity and confidence to their financial decisions. With over 19 years of experience in the financial services industry, I’ve had the opportunity to build a well-rounded understanding of the advice process, from client support and research through to delivering personalised financial advice since 2014. My role is to support you through each stage of your financial journey, helping to simplify what can often feel complex and ensuring your strategy continues to evolve as your life and goals change.
How I help you
I believe good financial advice starts with understanding what’s important to you. Everyone’s situation is different, so I take the time to listen, ask the right questions and work with you to build a strategy that feels both achievable and aligned with your lifestyle and values.
My aim is to make things feel clearer and more manageable, so you can move forward with confidence knowing you have a plan in place.
Why I love what I do
What I enjoy most about financial advice is the opportunity to make a genuine difference in people’s lives. It’s not just about finances, it’s about helping people feel more secure, more in control, and more confident about their future. I find it especially rewarding building long-term relationships with clients and supporting them through different life stages, knowing that the work we do together can have a lasting positive impact.
Expertise and qualifications
I have over 19 years of experience in financial services, including more than a decade working directly with clients to provide tailored advice. Having worked across various roles within the industry, I bring both technical knowledge and a practical, down-to-earth approach to the strategies I recommend.
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Business (Financial Planning) and the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) designation, which reflects a commitment to the highest professional standards. I am also an Accredited Aged Care Professional, allowing me to support clients and their families through more complex stages of life.
As a member of the Financial Advice Association of Australia (FAAA), I continue to build on my knowledge to ensure the advice I provide remains current and relevant.
Life beyond altitude
Outside of work, I place a strong emphasis on family, friendships and maintaining a healthy balance between work and life. Spending quality time with my young family is incredibly important to me, and it’s something that shapes how I think about both financial planning and what a meaningful life looks like.
I also enjoy staying connected with my local community and have long been involved in my local netball club. It’s something I genuinely enjoy and a great way to stay active and connected outside of work. I love getting outdoors, going camping, travelling, and sharing good food with family and friends. Keeping that balance is important to me, and it reinforces my belief that financial advice should support not just long-term security, but also a lifestyle that can be enjoyed along the way.
