Year Completed Carroll College: 2000

Occupation: Deceased Estate Manager at McMahon Vincent Lawyers

Provide a brief overview of what you are currently doing: I live in Moruya with my partner and young family and we have two kids which take up most of our time. I work in a local law firm. My role is to administer the financial estates of deceased persons.

What is a typical day like in your role? Primarily my role is to assist clients to make statutory applications to the Supreme Court to enable them to administer the estate of their deceased family member/loved one. The majority of my day is spent liaising with clients, asset holders (such as Banks, share registries, Super Funds etc) and the Court.

What’s the best advice you can give someone who just started their career? The harder you work now, the easier it will become.

What inspires you at work? If I ever need motivation or inspiration at work, I just look at the balance of my mortgage!

What interests do you have outside of work? Aside from spending time with family and friends, I’m a big sports fan. In particular, I follow the Raiders in the NRL and Liverpool in the Premier League.

What is your fondest memory of Carroll College? We had some great times on excursions like snow trips to Thredbo, and Coota touch trips were always lots of fun. In general, I just have awesome memories of forming friendships that are still a big part of my life today.
