How long have you (and your family) lived in the Southern Highlands?  I have lived in the Highlands all my life – born and bred here. I attended Chevalier College before I commenced work in the Real Estate industry in 2018. I started in property management and then moved into sales. I started at First National in Bowral as a sales agent just over two and a half years ago.

My favourite `things’ about the Highlands: I love how the Highlands’ community is close and very friendly. We are really spoilt – wineries, great restaurants and cafes’, there’s always something happening – its never boring.

Are you a morning person or a night owl? I am definitely a morning person. I like to rise early, get things organised, walk my dog, grab a coffee and get into the office nice and early and clear any admin work before the day really starts!

What do you enjoy doing outside of work? I am pretty active. I run, play tennis and walk the dog. I have a competitive streak – having played Rugby 7s in high school and then rugby league for the Moss Vale Storm. Plus, I love spending time with my friends and family.

Do you have any pets? Yes, I have a five-year-old Cavoodle named Louie. He’s pretty laid back and, of course, he’s a member of the family. In fact, I used to breed Cavoodles right up until last year.

What is your favourite type of cuisine?  I am especially fond of Asian cuisine. I love the flavours, spices and huge range of dishes – especially Thai. There are quite a few Thai restaurants, but my favourite is the Thai Bangkok House in Mittagong

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned in life? Persistence is key and hard work will always pay off. Not everything happens when you expect in many cases. If you keep at it, the rewards will come: especially in the real estate game.

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? If you don’t love working in the real estate industry you just won’t survive. Real estate can be a waiting game – but if you are patient and persistent, the results and rewards will come your way.
