Professional Background

Can you briefly describe your professional background and how it led you here?    

I completed my Cert III in pharmacy after completing year 12 and worked in Pharmacy on and off in Queensland and regional WA for the following 12 years, until moving to Karratha almost 9 years ago. I've always had a keen interest in Property, so when a receptionist job was up for the taking back in 2020, I took it and it's all been a steady progression into becoming a Property Manager. 

What are your key responsibilities on an average day?

Not only do I manage a property portfolio spanning from Dampier through to Point Samson, I also play a crucial role in onboarding our new clients/investors into our company.

What do you enjoy most about working in real estate? 

The combination of working with both property and people and the strong relationships that are forged with our owners, tenants and contractors. No one day is the same and there's always something new to learn. 

 

Success Stories

Can you share a memorable success story or a project you're particularly proud of?

Our core mission statement is to 'create value, make a difference'.  The outward application of this means that we are often able to exceed a persons expectations. Sometimes it’s the simple touches that can make a lasting impression.

How do you approach challenges in your role? 

With patience and the experience to know that they can be handled. Sometimes that's not done just by one person and that's where a great team alongside you is key. 

 

Personal Insights

What's your favourite aspect of the company culture? 

How supportive the team is. We all want each other to exceed and be their best. 

Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests? 

I love my quiet time binge watching my favourite TV series but also love the busy weekends with family, going out fishing and swimming. Travel and art would have to be my main interests with a trip to Japan planned for later this year.

 

Future Vision

Where do you see yourself in the next few years within the company & industry at large?

Doing what I'm doing right now.... managing property and people whilst continuing to grow in a market that is everchanging.

 

What goals do you have for your career? 

I’d love to continue to broaden my knowledge on all things relating to Property Management whilst learning more about the other aspects of the industry. I’d like to be, in years to come, well versed in all aspects of the real estate industry.

 

Advice & Insights

If you were starting out in real estate again, what’s one thing you would tell yourself for your first day?

Breathe, you're not expected to know it all in one day. Don't let one mistake define the rest of your day/week. We're all human, be kind. 

What advice would you give to someone starting in the real estate industry?

Don't let it overwhelm you. There's so much support and information within reach. Be patient, there's always a solution to your problem. 

How can clients or colleagues get the best out of working with you?

Good communication and respect - both imperative with any great relationship, personal or professional. 

 

Closing

Is there anything that you’d like clients to know about you?

I love what I do and I couldn’t imagine myself in any other career.
