I've spent most of my career being the person behind the scenes who makes everything run smoothly – and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way.

​

Before starting One Poppy Virtual Services, I spent 8 years working as an Executive Assistant to Senior Executives in the Australian Public Service. I learned pretty quickly that the best kind of support is the kind people don't have to think about – it just works. Alongside that, I ran my own Massage Therapy business for 13 years, so I know first-hand what it's like to be a small business owner wearing every hat at once. The juggle is real, and I get it more than most.

​

My background is genuinely varied – records management, disability employment, mental health services intake, allied health, dental assistance, and a solid six years as a barista and waitress (which, if you ask me, is basically a masterclass in staying calm under pressure and making people feel looked after).

​

What ties all of it together is this: I love helping people. I love finding the solution, untangling the chaos, and making things feel manageable again. That's exactly why I started One Poppy – because so many incredible women in business are doing it all and burning out in the process, when a little support could change everything. My favourite thing? Giving business owners the space to actually breathe again.

​

When I'm not working, you'll find me at the beach (or Bunnings) with my family. I'm a coast person through and through – salt air is basically my reset button.

If you're looking for someone who's been in the trenches of both corporate life and small business, and who genuinely cares about helping your business run better – I'd love to chat.
