What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on property/asset management role with clear operational responsibility, collaborative culture, and opportunities to improve processes, cost control, and tenant/owner satisfaction.

I am a versatile, people-focused property management professional with extensive experience overseeing luxury residential portfolios, vehicle assets, property sales and purchases, construction projects, tenant relations, and full bookkeeping up to trial balance. Calm under pressure and highly organised, I deliver efficient processes, cost control, and strong relationships with owners, tenants, contractors, and trustees.

I have managed 15–20 luxury properties and an 80+ vehicle collection, coordinated conversions of houses into guesthouses achieving Superhost status, supported trustee operations as an external PA, and maintained accurate financial and administrative records using Pastel and Xero. Committed to continual learning, I bring dedication, problem-solving, and operational leadership to roles that require both hands-on management and high-level administrative support.
