Mary-Anne began her career as a receptionist at a land broker in Adelaide, then moved on to roles at PK Kitchens and an accountant in Darwin while raising her two daughters. She returned to full-time work in 1986 at the Uniting Church, where she taught herself about computers and technology. Her interest in real estate grew, and she started her career at Murry Herman Real Estate (later Raine & Horne and then Elders), working her way up from receptionist to Property Manager and Team Leader over 9.5 years. She continued at LJ Hooker for over 11 years, mentoring and training property managers.

For the past 10 years, Mary-Anne has been the proud Owner/Manager of Penny’s Fancy Dress, where she developed strong management, communication, and negotiation skills. Now seeking a new challenge in real estate, a field she has always been passionate about, she draws inspiration from her childhood experience helping her parents manage their investment properties. Having owned and managed nine investment properties with her husband over 35 years, Mary-Anne is eager to return to the industry, bringing over 25 years of experience and a strong commitment to helping landlords and tenants achieve their goals.
