Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, to a mother descended from gypsy royalty, I was destined to spend my early years travelling throughout Scotland. As soon as I was old enough to leave the nest, I decided to lay down roots for my formative years in the ancient drovers’ town of Crieff in the picturesque Perthshire county in central Scotland.
Straight out of high school, I joined the banking industry with the local branch of the Trustees Savings Bank for just over five years. After being constantly on the move for most of my childhood, I really started to feel a part of the Crieff community and found a huge amount of satisfaction with local community service projects, including working with limbless war veterans and conservation work at Blair Atholl Castle.
In 1996, I joined the area’s largest employer, Crieff Hydro, a Victorian-era hydropathic spa resort set on 900 acres of rolling hills and valleys. During my five years with the resort, I quickly rose within the company’s 400-odd staff until I was part of the senior management team.
The six years at Crieff Hydro taught me some important lessons for success that I find just as important in real estate today, including the importance of training and education, quality of service, and working as a team.
Working in the hospitality industry anywhere in the world brings you in contact with travellers from around the world, and it was the Australians that I found myself bonding most strongly with. Eventually, the tales of all the blue skies, sunshine, and fantastic beaches became too much, and my bags were packed, and Australia became home.
Having arrived with a wealth of experience in hospitality, it may have seemed natural for me to remain in that industry, and many people might have taken this path, but instead, I elected to take the skills and experience gained and apply them in a different direction.
I joined the real estate industry nearly 20 years ago, and hundreds of locals proudly call me their real estate agent.
