Best advice you’ve ever received, and do you actually follow it?

Every connection has value. That advice has NEVER failed me!

What’s (still) on your bucket list?

I'm still stamping my passport (next stop: Japan?!) and practising Mandarin and Arabic. And probably one more marathon (somewhere exotic to hit bucket list item 1).

What impact are you hoping to make through your work?

I love seeing my clients leapfrog to new growth, empowering them with tech that isn't overwhelming, bulky, or expensive.

Favourite local restaurant, and what are you ordering?

I can't stay away from Bistro Rex beyond a few weeks. Steak frites! xx

If you could sit with any woman for a long lunch, who would it be and what would you ask?

My mom - we live night/day away, and I want more time with her. The older I get, the more questions I have!

What helps you get into your best work zone?

Variety. My mind gets sluggish when anything gets too routine. Hybrid work in the CBD and home; gym training and outdoor runs; corporate clients and sole trader sprints. I need it all.

You can only pack three things in your handbag. What’s coming with you?

I always bring my keys and iPhone (cause there's an app for everything else). My go-to bags are all stashed with my favourite lipstick, a pen, and a spare pair of glasses because I'm hopeless with transfers.

What book or podcast has made an impact on your business?

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho always gives me the right perspective when something doesn't go as planned.

What’s something people may be surprised to learn about you?

I've been complimented on my voice when doing Karaoke with new friends or colleagues - I am the one surprised at how surprised they sound when telling me this.

What are you excited about next?

I'm excited about using my own playbooks to grow TrueCalibre and back myself!
