Lisa Durham
Practice Manager
It’s no surprise that that the head of Artts operations grew up on a Dairy Farm. Managing workflows, compliance, and a constant plethora of side projects are all in a day’s work for a kid raised turning the paddocks of Nathalia.
Lisa’s passion lies in helping people. She feels a great sense of reward when Arrt Advice clients achieve their goals as this is her primary motivation. Every day, she looks to create an effortless client experience, and this is pleasantly coupled with her cheerful demeanour.
When it’s time to down tools, Lisa loves spending time in the snowfields with her little family and Dogs, Yuki and Schnitzel.
Colleen Goodwin
Receptionist
Our clients love Colleen. She is the heart of our operations and greets everyone with warmth akin to a decade long friendship.
Colleens caring nature is apparent in her gentle attentive manner and sets the tone of how we want our clients to feel when they call Artt.
She has spent years in the health industry and has transferred a passion for helping people with their physical health to helping people with their financial wellbeing.
Colleen hails from Kwazulu Natal and in her downtime enjoys artistic endeavours as well as spending time with her growing village of five children.
Tracy Heaven
Administration Specialist
Tracy is the Fairy Godmother of quiet achievements. She transforms rat-tat dictations into free-flowing file notes and moulds raw numbers into ornate reports, crucial for the carriage of our regular reviews.
She attends to her administration tasks with a peaceful poise and leaves order in her wake where disjointed fragments of information once lay. Tracy’s humble competence is not surprising considering that she has over a decade of experience in the financial planning industry.
Tracy is a devoted mother and a magnificent baker. We know it’s going to be a great day in the office when we see Tracy’s Tupperware laden with deliciousness.
Emina Muratovic
Administration Specialist
In Bathurst, our Advisers allow for extra time at appointments because clients love to chat with Emina. She knows everyone and everyone’s cousin.
With over a decade of experience in Banking and Client Services, Emina is well known in the local community and well appreciated as she has an innate desire to help people.
She has deep moral convictions on what is right and wrong and an equal measure of confidence to let those views be known. Her diligence, conscientiousness and initiative always leave our clients with a positive experience.
Her parents migrated from Bosnia to Oberon in the late 70s where Emina and her two brothers were raised. When Emina and her husband aren’t renovating new investment properties, they spend time with their three children at sports events, dance recitals and traveling.
