In 2008, there was a big tragedy happened to her life. She lost her husband due to sudden, unexpected death. She lost her full time job as her employer didn't allow her to work part time. So she continued her studies and did it full time and completed her accounting studies in Oct 2009.
While completing her studies, she worked as a bookkeeper and doing subcontracting. Currently the service she offers expands from bookkeeping to accounting, tax returns and corporate services.

How Gemma got involved with Women in Business? As part of her profession/career, she is required to have Continuous Professional Education Program (CPE) regularly through seminars/webinars/trainings/workshops/monthly discussion meetings and so on.
Gemma met Colleen Bergin (Executive Officer of Youth Now) in a discussion meeting late last year who was the Guest Speaker. Part of the discussion was what Youth Now does. She got interested and volunteered to help with their accounts once a week. Then she met Tania Sacco and Maria Cox who work for Youth Now and also both are in Women In Business committee.
Gemma is so grateful to be in the committee. It is good knowing people who are in business like her whose members give support with each other and share each others' experience. Also it is about socialising with members and others with the same interests/goals in life; about having fun and raise funds by attending events.
