About Me

She came to Australia in 2005 on a Postgraduate Scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research to complete her MBA degree majoring in Finance. She then spent four years at Macquarie Bank gaining comprehensive insights in the areas of superannuation, investment platforms, risk management and compliance, before becoming a financial adviser in 2011. Since then she has worked in boutique advice firms helping private clients with their financial life journeys.

Life-long learning both in her profession and her personal life are very important to Imke.
