OUR TEAM
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.
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?!
Client Services Officer
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.
Adviser Assistant
Transitioning from a background in the banking industry, I initially joined Sound Life's Albany office in 2021. I recently made the move to Perth, and am fortunate enough to be able to continue my career with Sound Life at our Perth office.
I believe it is so important to really understand your finances and I love how Sound Life empowers our clients to be a part of the journey, educating and supporting them the whole way.
Receptionist
I’m the newest member of the Sound Life team, joining in January 2023. I was born in Perth, before moving to Albany when I was young. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology at university. 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 are wonderful, genuine people who proritise 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.
