I began my career in 2000 working for a local firm in Nambour where I was able to hone my skills in the profession and in building client relationships. I am extremely proud to say that many of the clients I worked with in my early career are still clients to this day. I went into practice as a director of a firm in Maroochydore in 2009 where I remained until I formed InDepth Business Advisory & Taxation in April 2018. InDepth was created as I wanted to focus on the delivery of personalised business advisory and compliance services at a high standard to business in the Sunshine Coast community. Outside of the office, I enjoy travelling and spending time with my husband and our two children outdoors camping, boating and walking our dog Snickers.
