With more than a decade of experience in the funeral industry, Katherine brings a rare combination of professional expertise, genuine compassion and unwavering dedication to the families she supports. Her career has taken her across Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and now New South Wales, providing her with extensive experience working with families from a wide range of communities, cultures and backgrounds.

Recognised for her empathy, professionalism and deep commitment to care, Katherine understands that every family’s needs are unique. She approaches each service with patience, integrity and respect. To her, being a funeral director is more than a profession—it is a calling. She is passionate about ensuring every farewell truly reflects the life, values and wishes of the person being honoured.
Now based in Tumut, Katherine is dedicated to supporting local families with warmth, dignity and exceptional service. She considers it a profound privilege to be entrusted with the care of a loved one when they pass away. From the first moment of contact through to the completion of all arrangements, Katherine ensures each individual is cared for with respect, compassion and the highest level of professionalism.
Outside of her professional responsibilities, Katherine is a devoted mother to her 18‑year‑old son, who continues to be her greatest source of inspiration. Balancing family commitments with a demanding career has deepened her appreciation for connection, compassion and the lasting impact of personal legacy—principles she brings to her work each day. In her spare time, she enjoys camping, fishing and playing golf, and looks forward to actively contributing to the local community.
Katherine looks forward to continuing to serve the Snowy Valley community with compassion, professionalism and unwavering dedication.
