Renee began her career in financial services as a Paraplanner in 2008 and quickly progressed to directly supporting clients as an Associate Adviser. This gave her the opportunity to advise clients across a broad range of needs and circumstances throughout their changing life stages. This experience also helped her to develop a strong technical background across a broad range of financial strategies.

Renee joined UniSuper in 2013 as a Review Adviser and has since been promoted to Private Client Adviser.

She passionately believes that regularly reviewing clients’ circumstances is an integral part of the financial planning process. She's committed to maintaining ongoing relationships with her clients, enabling her to identify any new opportunities, ensure their retirement plan is still on track, and that they are working towards the achievement of their identified financial goals. This ensures that a clients’ financial situation can be successfully managed as their personal circumstances, the legislative environment and economic conditions change. 

Renee is also an advocate for educating people to take control of their finances. She encourages her clients to make informed financial decisions she takes the time to explain complex strategies clearly.
