Joining the Ray White Commercial team in June 2013 marked my career change to Commercial Real Estate. Previously in Financial Planning, I was self-employed for over 28 years having a Financial Planning Practice with AMP. Between retiring from Financial Planning and my new venture into Commercial Real Estate, I spent four years in office with the Toowoomba Regional Council from 2008 to 2012 during which time I held the Planning & Development Portfolio.My time in local business and my term on Council have provided me with a strong knowledge of the commercial market along with a very good understanding of community needs. Having a well-established network of colleagues and being a commercial property owner myself, I remain highly attuned to the needs of owners, landlords and investors alike. My goal is to have my name on everyone’s lips and to be the first Commercial Agent people call.One of my top priorities is focusing on the development of long term relationship strategies and believe building strong client relationships takes time and the trust of all involved. I believe my passion to stay involved in the community and the Toowoomba Region as a whole, together with the diverse skills and knowledge I’ve attained from my diverse employment history and experiences, adds value to the Agency.
