More than a broker

An educator at heart.

My path to mortgage broking began in education, where I spent 12 years as a Health and Physical Education teacher before advancing to leadership roles as Deputy Principal and Head of Department.

With a double bachelor's degree in Science and Arts from Edith Cowan University, I developed strong leadership, organisational and interpersonal skills. These now help me educate and guide clients with clarity and confidence.

As Head of Learning Area, I led a team of 10 staff and, during my Deputy Principal appointment, acted as Principal on more than 10 occasions. Listening carefully, explaining the detail and coordinating with others remain central to my work at Loanswest.

Why choose me?

Structure, clarity and a long-term view.

My role is to provide clear, strategic guidance and align each application with an appropriate lender, credit policy and product from the outset. I focus on careful preparation and communication through lender assessment, approval and settlement. Approval and loan terms remain subject to the lender's assessment.

Policy-driven structuring

I approach each scenario on its individual merits, focusing on loan structure, lender credit policy and long-term suitability. Each recommendation considers your position today and your longer-term plans.

Consistent communication

I keep you updated throughout the loan process. Where appropriate and with your consent, I work with your accountant, buyer's agent and other financial professionals so the relevant information stays connected.

Beyond a single transaction

Your plans can change after settlement. I focus on ongoing relationships, helping you review your lending and consider whether it still suits your circumstances and longer-term goals.

Access and flexibility

Through outsource Financial, I draw on a broad panel of lenders and finance providers. The options available depend on the loan type, relevant accreditations and eligibility.

Family, the outdoors and a little competition.
