Her main focus is on client relationship management at the tax manager and executive levels and in managing the overall consulting operations of the firm.

She has extensive experience in the delivery of seminars and educations sessions, development and implementation of R&D planning processes and drafting reasonably arguable position papers, tax ruling applications and overseas activity applications.
