about me

I am originally from the UK and have lived in Seville, Spain & Melbourne before settling down in Adelaide. I completed my Bachelor degree in International Business Management and really enjoyed the finance modules so when I was given the chance to work in a financial planning practice I jumped at the opportunity. Outside of work I am very family orientated which makes it hard living across the other side of the world, but I love when family & friends come to visit and I can show them the sites of the beautiful country I live in.

What quality of yours makes you best suited to what you do?
I am caring and a people person which helps me to build client relationships to enable me to be the best I can in my role. I really enjoy assisting people to meet their financial goals and helping them achieve what they perhaps never thought was possible is really rewarding.

How should people think about their wealth?
I think it is important to understand that there is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach. There is not one situation that is the same and no one should compare themselves against others.

What personal accomplishments are you most proud of?
Moving to a country where I didn't speak the language and travelling the world - predominately solo. I have met some amazing friends that I still keep in touch with now and I have grown so much as a person being thrown out of my comfort zone.

What do you love most about being part of Calder Wealth Management?
I love the environment and culture. Everyone is happy to give a helping hand when needed and I admire how passionate the team are in order to achieve the goal of being client focused. 

What do you enjoy most about wealth management?
One of the most talked about problems and worries is about money. It is really rewarding that the work we do gives people peace of mind and to know that regardless of what stage of life they are at, their goals are achievable and they will continue to be throughout time.

What do you love to do outside of work?
I love keeping fit and healthy. I have a new found love for reformer Pilates and I will never take for granted the beach being right on my doorstep.

What would you be doing if you weren’t working in Wealth Management?
Something to do with food. I love cooking at home and experimenting with different cuisines.
