About

Hello, and welcome to my ‘About Me’ page. My opportunity to pitch to you why you should engage my services over everybody else - and there are many others to choose from! So here I go…

As a consumer, when considering a service, I want to know about the person behind the service. Are they experienced? Are they qualified? Are they professional? Are they ethical? Will they do a good job? What do other people say about their services?

I turn to the internet. I look at their website. I put their name in a search engine. I look for reviews. I do my research. I try to get a ‘feel’ for what it would be like for them to carry out the service and whether they will be a good fit for what I need.

I expect nothing less from potential clients who are interested in my services.

Generally, if you’re well-researched, you will make a good choice. The best option, I have also learned, does not necessarily mean the cheapest alternative. Although, let’s be honest, fees need to be competitive! Speaking of which, you can see a fee guide of what I charge here. I’m not the cheapest; I am not the most expensive. I am competitive.

So… about me, to (hopefully) answer some of your questions!

I have over 20+ years of experience providing immigration and visa advice to individuals and companies.

In addition to working as a Registered Migration Agent, I served 4-years as a Tribunal Member at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (2017-2021), presiding over visa refusals and cancellations.

Not only am I experienced, but I am qualified. I am a graduate of the Australian National University, where I completed a Master of Laws (Migration) and was awarded the Fragomen Prize for attaining the highest academic results in my graduating year.

In addition to my work and study, I have always been active in my community as a volunteer. I was a long-serving volunteer of 12 years at Casey Cardinia Legal Service, providing advice on assisting CALD women on temporary visas experiencing family violence.

I am also a published author on migration matters, and over the years, have been a regular contributor to government-led migration inquiries, providing written submissions and verbal evidence to numerous parliamentary committees.

One last thing… a fun fact about me… I have worked on several film productions as a producer, including a short film titled 'The last time I saw you’, about a young Hazara refugee and her difficulties fitting in socially. The film has received numerous domestic and international awards and was runner-up at Tropfest. I’m proud of this piece of work. You can view it here: https://fb.watch/hMJfFVHqth/
