Kate believes finance should be empowering, not overwhelming. She’s known for her calm approach, clear communication, and strategic thinking—especially in complex or unusual scenarios.
Beyond the spreadsheets, Kate’s a Riverina local, proud mum to Arthur, and an Airbnb host who genuinely understands what it takes to build a property portfolio from the ground up. When she’s not deep in lending strategy, she’s either cooking scones, holidaying with friends, or trying (unsucessfully) to keep her garden alive.
