hi! i’m Frances ♡

• Certificate of Digital Marketing, Hubspot

• Bachelor of Law (Honours), University of Queensland

• Bachelor of Commerce (Finance major), University of Queensland

• Corporate strategic management, Yonsei University

• International Baccalaureate, Queensland Academy for Health Sciences

ASX-listed; start-up; Big 4; overseas… I’d say I gave Corporate a really good shot & It’s left me with many proud moments!

My full resume is available upon request. However, I believe the job titles & company names matter wayyy less than the fact I’m adaptable, strategic and professional (in all the ways that actually matter)!

• My workout split of Pilates, Yoga and Strength-training keeps me sane! I’m also a mat pilates instructor in training.

• 5 years ago, I started learning how to cook so I could take better control over my health. For anyone who knows me today, I’m pretty food-obsessed and I like sharing my knowledge, recipes and tips on my Instagram.

• I read every label. Whether it’s on my clothing, grocery items, skincare products, I’m interested!

• I’m a homebody! :) I also spend a lot of time alone. I love it, but I also look forward to the day I find my community: one made up of genuine people who think abundantly & seek a big life that feels good. So, if anything from me has resonated with you, reach out — don’t hesitate!

Some might say it’s unprofessional to share personal things, but I think it’s a good way to connect. Everyone has a story!

To start, I was never the kind of person who had it all together — quite the opposite. At a young age, I developed eating disorders and depression which reared its ugly head in other self-destructive behaviours, like self harm, risk-taking and substance abuse. At school, I was constantly on the verge of being kicked out.

Then, one day, something shifted and I felt I needed change. I moved schools (again), cut off old circles, and pushed myself into a new environment that would challenge me.

I had to repeat Year 10, learn how to study and handle intense exam pressures (albeit not in the healthiest way), and went on to earn an International Baccalaureate diploma. From there, I studied Law and Commerce at one of Australia’s top universities and landed jobs at some of the biggest companies in the world.

But, honestly, all this really showed me is: If I set my mind to something, I can do it. Because, for a long time, I thought “growing up” and success meant doing all the things society wants from us — like school, the well-regarded jobs, financial stability.

But, chasing all of that led me straight to burnout. And, once again, i found myself at an extremely low point in my life. I got so unwell that, late 2023 (and on the verge of a full-blown mental breakdown), I quit my corporate 9-5.

Over the next year or so, I focused on regaining my health, healing my inner child (Ikr, so zillennial of me) & finding happiness. I also allowed myself to explore creativity — something I once thought was reserved for other people — and said “yes” to random opportunities which led me to realising “Hey! I could actually do this!”.

And, while i’m still on my journey of building a life I love and finding myself fully, what I’ve realised is this: Life’s too short to be unhappy or settle for the ‘ordinary’, when you’re anything but. I was never meant to be like everyone else.

And maybe you can relate.

I crave meaning, purpose and authenticity. That’s why I want to meet and work with entrepreneurs and businesses who are different, unapologetically themselves, guided by good values & actually give a sh*t about the work they do and impact they’re making!

If this sounds like you, I can’t wait to meet you.
