His work experience, coupled with an Engineering Degree and an MBA, means he is an ideal person to manage our financial planning franchise. 

Ken loves going to the footy (Swans supporter) and cricket with his son and wishes he was a better surfer!  He is always happy to have a chat so don’t hesitate to give him a call if you have any questions.

Stephanie Zafra

Financial Planning Assistant

Stephanie graduated with a degree in Management Accounting and has been working in our team since 2019.

Stephanie assists with conducting research into client scenarios and in the implementation of the advice recommendations. Despite spending most of her time “working in the background”, she aims to make the implementation of financial advice as efficient and convenient as possible.

She loves going “on adventures”, especially travelling to picturesque places and tasting delectable foods!  She enjoys her time swimming, but ironically fears an open sea…. and would like to spend more time in the mountains, but has a fear of heights!!

Mercel Curepo

Paraplanner

Mercel has a Bachelor degree in Science with a Major in Management Accounting.

Mercel is the paraplanner for our team and spends most of her time working with Michelle and preparing the “Statement of Advice” and “Record of Advice” documents. She also prepares the financial models which we use to help our clients i) compare different options when making important financial decisions and ii) how to best fund their desired lifestyle in retirement.

She finds that her job satisfaction is highest when she is doing research, analysis and writing advice documents that show how our clients financial situation can be improved.

In her spare time, she loves reading books and spending quality time with her family. She is looking forward to travelling more and can’t wait to visit Bali.
