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, I founded my 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.
