One person. Four personas.
I entered the Australian property industry in 2004 and joined PRET Australia as a trainer in 2010. My work has covered sales, marketing, property management, development, investment advice and professional education.
This is where I write about property, public issues, community work, AI, food and travel.

I was in property before I became a trainer.
I joined the Australian property industry in 2004, then PRET Australia in 2010. My teaching draws on work across the industry, not just what is written in a textbook.
Over time, my writing has expanded to community work, public issues, AI, food and travel. The four personas are simply different sides of the same person.
