Malinda is a finance broker who helps individuals and businesses navigate home loans, investment loans, and commercial finance with confidence. She began her career in hospitality management before moving into banking, where she worked with both a Big 4 bank and a regional customer-owned bank. This mix of client service and financial expertise led her naturally into mortgage broking, where she could combine her skills to deliver tailored lending solutions.
Alongside her broking career, Malinda has also owned and operated hospitality businesses with her partner. This hands-on business experience gives her unique insight into the realities of running a small business, managing cash flow, and planning for growth — knowledge she brings to her work with self-employed and business clients.
Based on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Malinda works with clients locally in Port Macquarie, Kempsey, South West Rocks and Nambucca Valley, as well as supporting clients across Australia. Known for her approachable style and clear communication, she takes the time to compare lenders, explain options in plain language, and ensure her clients feel supported from application to settlement — and beyond. She specialises in home loans, refinancing, investment lending, and commercial finance, with a focus on long-term financial wellbeing.
