Director/Adviser and Corporate Authorised Representative of Synchron
GradDip FP, Adv Dip Acc
Albany has been home to me for twelve years, during which time I changed careers into the world of financial planning. Prior to this, I lived in Ongerup/Borden where I balanced raising a family, nursing, and farming. I do believe that social connectedness (away from a screen), is important for building strong communities. I aim to help our clients feel comfortable when discussing their financial future and to empower them to help get results.
Financial Planner
BCom, GradDip FP
I’m excited to be part of the next chapter for Sound Life as we expand into Perth while being closer to our rural clients in the Wheatbelt and Southwest. I’ve moved back to Perth, the catalyst being what’s most important to Jemma and me - friends and family. The greatest satisfaction financial planning gives me, is being able to help clients live a life that gives them confidence and purpose.
On the weekends you can find me, coaching and playing footy down at the mighty Cottesloe Roosters, and if there’s an opportunity, it’s getting away in the camper.
Office Manager
I re-entered the workforce in 2018, after spending valuable years raising my two children. As the Office Manager, I’m committed to supporting our team in every possible way, from streamlining processes to finding solutions for any challenges that may arise. Working alongside our talented Advisers, I aim to enhance job satisfaction and contribute to a harmonious work environment where each team member can perform at their best. I’m proud of our team and workplace, where we guide and support our clients to help them achieve financial wellbeing.
Associate
BCom with a major in FP
I embarked on my financial planning career in 2018 whilst undertaking my degree. Over the years, I’ve gained expertise working across various financial planning practices in Perth, and I am now excited to bring my experience to Sound Life in Albany.
My approach to financial planning is centered around empowering clients through education, goal setting and simplifying their financial matters. My goal is to help others navigate their finances efficiently so they can focus on what truly matters to them.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing footy, hiking with my dog, and experimenting with new recipes.
Adviser Assistant
I have lived in Albany for over 25 years now after moving from the hills in Perth.
I've worked in several different industries over my working career but it's the financial services industry that I enjoy and where I need to be!
Being part of the Sound Life team ticks all the boxes for me as I work with such wonderful people who share the same passion and goals.
And who wouldn't enjoy the amazing view from our office?!
Associate
After growing up in the Southwest, I have spent the last 6 years in Perth. Currently, I am balancing my studies in Finance and Financial Planning alongside my role at Sound Life, where I’m gaining invaluable experience. Being surrounded by such a great team is priceless as I work towards becoming an adviser.
Helping clients gain financial independence and live life on their terms is what drives me in this industry.
Finance Coordinator
I have been part of the Sound Life Team since May 2014 providing financial account management services for the day-to-day running of the business. My working background and qualifications are in Accounting with a focus on small business account management and budgeting. My husband and I have been living in Albany for over 25 years, our two children have grown up in Albany and have now moved to Perth to complete Uni studies and commence their chosen careers. This brings home validation to the services provided by Sound Life as my husband and I move into a new chapter of our lives, where we have more time to achieve our goals, and plan for our future adventures and our eventual transition to retirement.
Junior Adviser Assistant
I joined the Sound Life team in January 2023. I was born in Perth, before moving to Albany when I was young. My previous employment in retail and hospitality has enabled me to connect and engage with my local community. Joining Sound Life has been a fun adventure; meeting new people and learning new skills. The team is wonderful, genuine people who prioritise their client’s wellbeing and want the best for them. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here and can’t wait to see what my future at Sound Life brings.
Receptionist
With a diverse background I bring a blend of skills and experiences to my administrative role. My time as a qualified veterinary nurse, bookkeeper and mum to three teenagers have instilled in me a practical yet empathetic and caring approach to those around me. I am dedicated to fostering a friendly and efficient environment and looking forward to learning all that the financial service industry has to offer.
