I’m an entrepreneur, financial adviser, cross-fitter, and D&I activist; helping young professionals achieve financial freedom.

Prior to launching Fox & Hare, I was a Macquarie Banker for more than a decade!

I honed my craft in various roles from institutional broking to wealth management, finally leaving mid-2017 as one of the youngest Directors in the company.

Diversity and inclusion sits close to my heart. During my time at Macquarie, I often found myself wondering "where are all the advisers who look like me?"

Fox & Hare was launched to fill that gap. We saw young, diverse Australians being left behind and knew we could make a lasting and positive change.

We believed (and still believe!) that financial freedom should be accessible to all - not just the older, wealthier among us.

Since launching Fox & Hare I’ve:

• Been voted amongst Australia's 50 most influential financial advisers (three years running!)
• Accepted the role as a board member and Treasurer for Wear It Purple
• Helped young rainbow Australians tackle the corporate world with Out For Australia
• Voted Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) - 'Thought Leader of the Year'
  Further, I've been nominated for:
• CEO of the Year
• Director of the Year
• Entrepreneur of the Year &
• Financial Adviser of the Year

And Fox & Hare was a finalist at the 2018 Sydney City Regional Business Awards.

When I’m not at our office in Darlinghurst, I am either at CrossFit, by the beach or travelling.
