A self-confessed immigration nerd, Chani isn’t just incredibly capable and smart-as-a-whip but has a fun-loving and infectious personality that’s fuelled by a good challenge (and chocolate).
As Senior Consultant at Catalyst Migration, Chani is the “doer of all things”. Policy question? She’s got you. Visa advice? She has what you need. Prepare an application? Already on it. She works with Phi and tackles all matters with enthusiasm and an unflappable “can do” attitude.
Chani is an experienced immigration consultant and was a joint recipient of the Pride of Workmanship Award from the Rotary Club in recognition of outstanding performance and commitment to delivering a consistently high standard of vocational service within the community. This award was specifically in relation to pro bono work on migration requirements for a Somali woman who was seeking life-changing surgery in Australia.
She has also put some serious kilometres on her legs, having hiked the Camino de Santiago across a good portion of northern Spain and the W-trail in Patagonia, Chile. When she’s not trekking higher than a mountain goat, she can be found in a cosy corner reading a good book.
