I'm an assistant accountant at ALX Group. ALX Group is an outsourced accounting team and we monitor financial health of the business. One of the things that we do is we fast tracked customer payments to increase the profitability of the business.

As a Mindset Coach, I specialise in empowering women to reignite the spark in their life and work by shifting the psychological barriers that hold them back.
Using my own experience plus NLP & Positive Psychology techniques, I have developed a simple, step-by-step "Process For Success" that helps individuals and teams achieve their goals with joy and ease.
My main driver is to be a good role model for my two daughters, Maris & Megan (the 2Ms in 2Mpower).  I am a published author and the founder of Sydney Women’s Self-Empowerment Meetup which has over 600 members.

 

At the heart of every successful venture lies the promise of technology "Infused with Care". As the founder of Peppermint IT and known to many as The IT Lady, I channel 30 years of expertise into pioneering IT solutions that do more than just solve problems—they propel businesses forward.

With a career dedicated to demystifying technology and a passion for fostering growth and resilience within SMEs, Peppermint IT is on a mission to offer bespoke tech support that’s as comforting and refreshing as a cup of peppermint tea.

In March 2024, we launched I.T. Lady Connect as a Not For Profit.  We are deeply passionate about the transformative power of technology in enhancing lives.  Our mission is to empower these communities through technology, enabling them to connect, grow, and thrive in an increasingly digital world.
