Katrina Evans

Operations and Accounts Manager

Preston, Victoria, Australia

About

Since starting my professional career in the financial services field I have come to recognise my appreciation for the corporate, business and finance environment. With a passion for efficiency and quality I cannot remain stationary as there is always something new to learn, implement or develop. Each role I have found myself in has involved attention to detail in order to achieve a greater goal, forcing an understanding of the finer details as well as the bigger picture. I am passionate about making the world of business, finance and commerce accessible to those who are often overlooked; BIPOC, artists, musicians, freelancers, aged care and disability and any other minority that is regularly dismissed or underestimated in the "business" world.
