What I do

My areas of practice include retirement villages, estate administration, trust administration, wills, enduring powers of attorney and residential conveyancing. I enjoy the detail involved in ensuring that matters progress well and promptly, working appropriately within the MDS Law team to ensure the best service to clients.

How I like to work with clients

I like to build rapport with clients to enable me to know and work towards meeting their needs and goals. Often clients I am in contact with are in a vulnerable stage of their life. I seek to ensure that they are well advised in a way that is clear and easy to understand to enable them to make informed choices.

My approach to client service

Clients need to be kept informed and updated. A quick telephone call or email can do much to ensure good communication throughout transactions. I like to find out my client’s priorities early on so that I can provide service to best meet their needs.

What I like doing after hours

I enjoy spending time on adventures with my young family, cycling, travelling and keeping fit. Downtime is spent with movies, books and playing piano. You will often find me hunting out treasures at local op-shops or trying my hand at something creative.
