Where do you feel your place or ‘home’ is?

I am privileged to work as a CFO, bringing my experience and passion for numbers to support businesses in their journey, grounded in respect for place and community. In my role, I strive to bring financial clarity and guidance, respecting both cultural and individual perspectives. My goal is to make finance accessible, straightforward, and empowering, allowing businesses to thrive in a way that aligns with their values and aspirations.

I believe that “home” isn’t just a physical space but a sense of belonging and connection—to both people and the land. For me, home is wherever I can be close to nature, enjoying activities like running and swimming, and exploring new places through travel. These pursuits keep me connected to the earth and bring balance to my life.

Who are the most important people in your world?

The people who mean the most to me are those who encourage balance and remind me to appreciate life’s simple moments. With understanding and respect, they help me acknowledge the importance of shared values and honour each unique journey. They bring calm, listen with empathy, and inspire me to embrace my worth, personally and professionally, knowing that I am enough as I am.

What is something you love doing?

One of my passions is connecting with nature, I love the sense of freedom and calm that comes from being outdoors—it helps me reset and brings a lot of balance to my life.
