Maybe that's why you've done it so easy over here and made it look easy with any FMA changes.

Anything they throw at you can't be nothing compared to what you had to go through in Royal Commission, right?

Yeah, I mean, you've got the experience to do it right, which has no doubt kind of helped.

Anything more specific on the challenges for a female in the finance industry for you that you sort of noted as you've gone through the ranks?

Yeah, it seems to be that thing that, you know, the imposter syndrome probably affects females more than males.

and i think there's that you know stat or that uh line that's often referenced that you know a guy will see a job description and go i can do you know one fifth of it so i'm going to apply whereas a female goes i can't do one fifth of that so i'm not going to apply and it's just that different mentality right so i like that and i suppose like you say just knowing that you've got the the knowledge you've got the expertise and having that confidence to talk up in those situations and

And hopefully be in environments that are open and welcoming of that too, which as I think you've already spoken about, you know, loan markets certainly provided you that opportunity, which has much been brilliant to be a part of.

Definitely was, yes.

Let's talk in a bit more detail then around the transition from Australia.

And I'm kind of keen to hear a bit more about what being National Director of Loan Market NZ actually means.

What do you kind of do in your role?

What drives you and sort of, you know, what makes you turn up every day to that role and, you know, want to make a difference, I guess?

Yeah, no, I mean, I like the model you guys seem to work.

The closeness that your sort of commercial team work with those business owners seems quite unique to me.

So yeah, definitely looks great from the outside looking in as well.

And certainly some of that detail you're talking about makes sense.

In terms of some of the leadership support that Loan Market's given to you through that time, so you sort of touched on earlier that there's been great support for you to move through those different ranks.

But is there anything in particular as well that Loan Market has done to encourage your leadership to

and bring you through the ranks there?

Yeah, no, it's a heck of a setup.
