Auditor and Bookkeeper

My mantra: 
I have walked the path of striving for success, climbing the corporate ladder and achieving financial stability, only to realise that despite my accomplishments, something was still missing. I understand the feeling of emptiness that comes with the constant pursuit of achievement, and the pressure to live up to others' expectations. Through my own journey of self-discovery and personal growth, I have come to understand the importance of finding balance and aligning with one's true values and purpose. In the pursuit of success, we find our why.

My background: 
I was born in Alice Springs and have a passion to connect with our beautiful country. Community is important to me, I engage in doing what I can to uplift and raise our community through volunteering and sponsorships.  Through my business I hosted a mud run for the Alice Springs community to put on a fun event and raise $8000 for the Alice Springs Mens shed.
