My role involves providing seamless support and attention to detail at every stage of the mortgage process, ensuring that clients’ needs are met efficiently and accurately.

Broker Support
I began my career in the financial industry in 2017 as an underwriter with Australian Finance. Since 2019, I’ve been working with Australian Home Loans, gaining experience as part of a Mortgage Manager and Aggregator team. Over the years, I’ve supported brokers in preparing loan applications for submission, ensuring timely approvals and smooth settlements. I take pride in my resilience, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic, which strengthened my adaptability and problem-solving skills. When I’m not immersed in the world of finance, I’m a devoted fur-mom to six adorable dogs – four Shih Tzus and two Pomeranians. They keep me active and smiling every day! I’m also a passionate home cook who loves experimenting with flavors and sharing delicious meals with family and friends.
