Helping small businesses get found in search results and successfully grow their client list and revenue is enormously fulfilling.
Sonya loves loooong walks (longest to date is the 55km Oxfam Trailwalker in 2019) and has the Portuguese Camino and Japanese Nakasendo Trail on her ‘bucket list’. In addition to a love of pretty things like antique teacups, dresses and property, Sonya has a collection of 4 cats (some of them antique), 2 dogs (1 an antique, the other a complete crazy) and 9 chickens on the small acreage her family lives on in the Western suburbs of Brisbane.
Of all the twists and turns Sonya’s career has taken to date, the common thread that has driven her – is the love of people.
