I am the proud Owner/Director of Bella Venezia, one of the Sunshine Coast’s most celebrated and multi-award-winning dining institutions. Building on that legacy, we recently launched Fish House Steak and Grill – a new culinary destination already making its mark, earning an AGFG Chef’s Hat for 2026 within just four months of opening.
With decades of experience in luxury hospitality, I have led transformational growth, curated exceptional guest experiences, and built high-performing teams driven by innovation, culture, and excellence. My leadership philosophy is simple: when people feel empowered, extraordinary experiences follow. This belief has shaped the culture and success of every venue and team I have had the privilege to lead.
At Bella Venezia and Fish House Steak and Grill, our focus goes beyond serving exceptional food. We create refined, memorable experiences – crafted with precision, passion, and a relentless commitment to quality.
Beyond the venues, I am deeply invested in the future of the Sunshine Coast. I am passionate about supporting local initiatives, mentoring emerging hospitality talent, and contributing to the growth of our vibrant community.
I am driven by a vision to inspire others to reach their full potential, believing that with the right mindset, determination, and collaboration, remarkable things can be achieved.
As the author of The Self-Preservation Guide, I also work to empower women through self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and self-preservation, helping them move beyond resilience toward sustained personal and professional empowerment.
