My passion has been helping people to breakthrough and take their lives to another level in very important areas: health and personal finance. I have dedicated my career to help people achieve great results and make continuous progress towards their goals. I am an enthusiastic and motivated fitness professional, with over 15 years of experience working with personal training and group fitness classes, offering expertise, personalisation, accountability, and creating workout plans that match my client’s needs. I believe that physical health and wellbeing are essential for a successful and fulfilling life. Prior to turning my fitness passion into my current career, I worked in financial planning and accounting for more than 15 years, which allowed me to develop strong business and financial acumen. These financial skills have been important in managing and growing my fitness business and allowing me to survive & thrive in very challenging times such as the Covid-19 pandemic. My previous financial planning experience helped people to build and protect their personal wealth in order to create financial security and freedom. My core skills include strategic advice, business strategy, entrepreneurism, strong ability to identify and solve problems, excellent analytical qualities and strong drive & determination to take action and get things done. I have a history of strong professional & personal success and have always followed the Kaizen philosophy to continuously improve and get better each day. Due to that, my ultimate passion and focus is to use my background to help people and businesses to optimise and grow to new and more profitable levels, maximising both their health and wealth.

Listed skills include Financial Analysis, Strategic Financial Planning, Fitness, Wellbeing, and 8 others.
