I thought it maybe time to finally introduce myself on this page 💛

I am born & bred in Ararat to Jean & Frank Kelly 🤍
I completed my schooling locally at St Mary’s, Marian College and Ararat Community College, before heading off on a bit of an adventure after Year 12.

A year later, I made the move to Darwin with a good friend, working in hospitality, meeting incredible people and experiencing a completely different pace of life in the NT. During that time, I was lucky enough to travel overseas to Germany, France and the USA ✈️

From there, I spent two amazing years in Sydney (where I quickly learnt “potato cakes” are apparently “scallops”… and a pot is definitely not a schooner 😅). Sydney gave me lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories.

Eventually, I made my way back to Victoria, settling in Melbourne for a bit before returning home to Ararat, where I’ve built a life with my husband Dallas and our beautiful kids, Amelia and Emerson 🤍

In 2016, I was given the opportunity to step into real estate — and I haven’t looked back since.

Helping people with life’s decisions is something I genuinely love, and being able to do it in the community I call home makes it even more special. 🏡✨
