My journey in strata began not as a strata manager but as a property owner. After attending a few strata meetings and dealing with a few different managers, it became clear that this industry was in a need of change. I understood why the strata manager’s job is the one that nobody wanted to do and everyone complained about.
Since then, I became a strata manager and my vision has always been to put my clients’ needs first. I always worked on the relationships, focused on understanding my customers and anticipating their needs.
I have worked in industry leading companies on projects of all shapes and sizes, from 2 lots schemes to large and complex mixed-use buildings with Building Management Committees. I have been involved in every aspect from setting up the schemes to successfully managing them for many years.
To further progress my vision, my husband and I founded our own strata company – StrataBee. Our goal is to create happy and prosperous strata communities which the residents are proud to be part of and live in. At our hive, we work hard, but we also have fun and we give back to assist those in need.
I have always been passionate about real estate, developments and construction. I am always working on a renovation project of some sort. I love working with tools and to surprise of many I am quite good at it too.
In my off time, I am out and about with my family. You can find us cycling through the Royal National Park, walking on the beach or just walking our dog. I love being active, so scuba diving, skiing, hiking and travelling are a big part of my life.
Feel free to reach out and have a chat about buildings, strata and life in general. I am grateful for any opportunities and I am happy to help you with your strata needs.

My partner and I established StrataBee at the end of 2019 with the goal to challenge the status quo and deliver truly customer-focused service to the strata industry. We look at every detail from the customers’ point of view and only do what is in the customers’ best interest. We question everything and don’t just do things a certain way because that’s how they have always been done.
My partner, Magdalena Tsonev, has more than 10 years’ experience in the strata industry. She worked her way up the ranks and was exposed to every aspect of the strata management business. She has an impeccable track record of high level of customer satisfaction and has been successful in establishing long-term working relationships with her clients. Her professional approach and positive attitude, which we instil in all our team members is what sets us apart.
I, on the other hand, had almost no experience with strata except for being an owner in a strata scheme. However, we didn’t see this as a disadvantage. On the contrary, it allowed me to look at the industry with fresh eyes and see if something made sense or not. In addition to that I had extensive experience in hotel management from 3 different continents and had been a business owner for over 13 years, so there were a lot of skills that I could bring across.
We like to think that by combining both of our strengths and experience, we managed to create something special, a friendly and helpful strata management company which our team members enjoy being part of and our clients rave about.
