Helping my clients brings me the greatest joy, no matter what their needs are. 

I transitioned from farmer to insurance advisor in 1992 and I absolutely love what I do. I began my Insurance career with the then Sage Life and went independent soon thereafter. I began Leesure Assurance Brokers in 2003 and I take pride in the personal connections I build with each client.

While I have a Damelin qualification, it’s my “mens wees” – my ability to connect with people – that truly sets me apart. At Leesure, we live by the principle that *there’s never the wrong time to do the right thing*.  I am always available, and nothing is ever too much when it comes to supporting my clients. My commitment to their well-being and my dedication to honest and ethical practices ensures that they always receive the best possible service.

I love having the privilege of going back into the farming world, through my many farming clients, and primarily, still being an insurance broker. I love photography and my daily travels (approximately 6000km per month) affords me time with my camera between visiting my clients at their homes/places of business.

I love dealing with clients and their healthcare needs and assisting them in understanding their plans and benefits.

I have been a proud member of the Leesure Assurance Brokers cc team since 2004. Across the board, I encourage our clients to know their health, and I am hands-on with their needs and requirements.

With two plus decades of experience in the insurance industry, I hold a Certificate in Financial Planning and have completed all of my Industry exams. Prior experience in the Industry came through Fedsure, Metropolitan Odyssey and the IFAnet.

I have been on the Peninsula Branch Committee of the Industry body of the Financial Intermediaries Association (https://fia.org.za/) since 2016. I held the position of Chair for 2020 – 2023, with special interest in Health.

My extensive background in administration has equipped me with the skills to champion clients’ needs effectively. Our clients are certainly #1 with us. I am dedicated and tenacious, ensuring every detail is managed through to completion. My commitment to ethics and integrity is unwavering, making sure our clients always receive the best service across the board.
