Learn about our Marketing and Business Development Manager, Shakira
Career history and qualifications:
With over 11 years of experience in marketing and sales strategy, I’ve helped brands of all sizes expand their reach and revenue. At Zion, I work behind the scenes across all areas of the business. From marketing strategy, social media, and website updates to hiring, lead generation, and supporting Beau so he can focus on delivering the best outcomes for our clients.
On the weekends you’ll find me:
Spending time with Beau and our daughter Mia. We are usually at the farmers market, the playground or a local cafe having brunch. I love slow mornings, Pilates, and catching up with friends on the Sunshine Coast.
Favourite inspirational quote:
“If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” – Dolly Parton
Without rain, we wouldn’t value the rainbow as much. Similarly, setbacks, failures, or uncomfortable seasons help us truly appreciate the breakthroughs and blessings when they arrive.
Favourite Book:
Super Attractor by Gabby Bernstein. Learning about manifestation in this book changed my life forever. It gave me the tools to align with abundance and attract opportunities I never thought possible.
What I love about working at Zion Financial:
I love that we’re not just in finance, we’re in the business of changing lives. Every strategy we create is about helping our clients feel empowered, supported, and confident about their future. Working alongside Beau and our team to build something that blends expertise with heart is so rewarding.
