COMMUNICATIONS

My career was in the tourism industry until five years ago when I became manager of the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce. I loved my time there and developed a great respect for the contribution that local chambers make to their members, their community and their location.

I now currently manage online and offline promotions for the 4556 Chamber of Commerce using various media.

MEMBERSHIP AND EVENTS

After a combined 15+ years in a corporate career and 17 years as a business owner, and sales and team communications specialist, I earned many national awards and recognition. However, I knew my life was meant for more, and really wanted to help other people create their dreams and aspirations, in their career or business. So, I took a leap of faith, and launched Empower Opportunity.

I now help empower people to find their unique purpose and be more profitable.
