After growing up in Perth, backpacking across Eastern Europe at 20, and building a career across two continents, she saw what others overlooked: the advice industry isn’t held back by bad intent — it’s held back by disjointed systems and unreliable data.

If you’ve ever been underestimated — or had a napkin idea you couldn't shake — this one’s for you.
