"I am incredibly honored to have been named Business Person of the Year 2026 at the South East Melbourne Local Business Awards. While this award has my name on it, I truly don’t see it as mine alone.
I dedicate it to all the people around me who have helped me continue believing, who have supported me through the challenges, worked tirelessly alongside me, encouraged me when things were difficult and shared in this journey.
To my family — thank you for believing in me, for your patience, encouragement and understanding, and for standing beside me through the long days, late nights and all the times when running a business inevitably followed me home. Your support has given me the strength to keep going when things haven’t been easy.
And to the incredible team behind Rotar Heart Health — our staff, specialists and everyone who continues to believe in what we are building — this recognition belongs to you all.
I am so proud to work alongside people who genuinely share our values and who go out of their way every day for our patients, referring doctors and clinics. The kindness, professionalism and commitment I see from our team every day is what makes Rotar Heart Health what it is.
Building a business in healthcare has never been simply about growth. For me, it is about creating something that makes a difference — making high-quality cardiac care more accessible, supporting our medical community and never losing sight of the individual person behind every referral and every appointment.
There have been long days, difficult decisions, challenges, mistakes and plenty of lessons along the way. And receiving an award doesn’t mean those days are behind us. There will still be many more challenges ahead. There will still be things that don’t go to plan and moments when we have to find the strength to keep going. But perhaps that is what this recognition means the most to me — a reminder to continue believing, learning, working hard and moving forward, surrounded by people who share the journey with me.
To my team, our specialists, our referring clinicians, our patients, my family and friends, and everyone who has supported me along the way — this award belongs to all of us.
Thank you to the South East Melbourne Local Business Awards for this incredible recognition.
I am incredibly proud of how far we have come, grateful for the people who have helped us get here, and excited to see where the journey takes us next. ❤️"
