Meet the team from Mortgage Choice in Kings Langley. We are always here to help, talk to us today and let us find a suitable home loan for you.

Prior to joining Mortgage Choice in 2001, I held the position of Branch Manager of one of Australia's leading banks.

Since becoming a franchisee with Mortgage Choice 20 years ago, I have never looked back! I particularly enjoy working on complicated loans, and consider myself an expert in dealing with clients that are interested in Professional Packages, Multiple Securities, Unit & Discretionary Trusts and other complex loan Scenarios.

I graduated from The University of Sydney with a BA majoring in Economics and Politics. Not wishing to stagnate, I continued my studies, taking on subjects such as Commercial Banking & Finance and Finance Law.

• In 2010, I won the Australian Mortgage Awards - Broker of the Year - Insurance (Mortgage Protection & Life) - which is truly amazing!
