About
The longer version.
Buddhist Chartered Accountant in business.
Where I Started
Numbers, before anything else.
I was trained by one of the best chartered accounting firms in the world, EY, and worked in their Melbourne office as a senior accountant. That taught me systems, processes, and the value of marketing in the business service industry as well as the importance of change/development in ensuring a sustainable organisation.
From there, I studied abroad — Putonghua at Fudan University in Shanghai — and worked internationally in London, Hong Kong, and Taipei. Living and working across different cultures changed how I think about audience, language, and trust — three things that turn out to matter a lot when you're trying to help someone find the people they're meant to reach.
Where the Dharma Found Me
Three generations of practice — and a rediscovery.
I'm a third-generation Tibetan Buddhist. On my mother's side, my parents and grandparents practised in the Gelugpa tradition.
But the practice I grew up alongside was largely unstructured — devotional, sincere, and beautiful in its own way, but without a systematic learning path. So in adulthood I came back to it on my own terms, this time looking for structure. I found it in Tergar — the global community founded by His Eminence Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche — and began systematically with the Joy of Living program. My own practice now sits primarily within the Karma Kagyu and Nyingma lineages.
A small thing that struck me when I started: my grandparents' and parents' main guru was also called Mingyur Rinpoche — a different teacher, from a different time. The resonance of names felt like a quiet sign that I was where I was meant to be.
My current main teacher, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, comes from a long lineage of distinguished Buddhist practitioners and teachers. Like his father, his brothers, his uncles, and his nephews — a family I find quietly remarkable.
I will be a graduate of the Tergar Meditation Teacher Program (class of 2025–2026), where our cohort of two hundred students is being trained to teach the Anytime, Anywhere Meditation methodology. The program is professionally supported by world-renowned mindfulness scientists including Professor Richard Davidson and Cortland Dahl.
I'm also training as a singing-bowl facilitator. For sessions, classes, and bookings, please visit MettaFi.
What I'm Doing Now
A few things at once.
In 2026 I founded MettaFi — an agency and platform helping Buddhist teachers and organisations promote and deliver their work. The motivation behind it is the wish to help the Dharma flourish where it has the conditions to do so. The Buddha predicted thousands of years ago that humanity would arrive at a time of widespread mental dis-ease and affliction. We are, by most accounts, in that time. The teachings can help. The job is to make them findable.
Alongside MettaFi, I invest in early-stage startups and small businesses. I served as treasurer of Tara Institute, an FPMT Buddhist centre in Melbourne, for two years. I've been involved in fundraising projects for Buddhist groups and communities across Australia and Asia.
I'm also known for connecting people where money isn't involved — quietly making introductions, extending help, and watching it be reciprocated, because not everything in this world is about money.
Some of those threads run deep, others are nascent. They all feel connected.
And One Thing I'd Like to Build
"There is no single trusted directory of monasteries, large and small. No single directory of Buddhist teachers, monastic and lay. No single directory of Buddhist counsellors and therapists. I would like to help bridge that gap."
