Imma graduated from UNSW with First Class Honours in Physics and Astronomy as part of a double degree in Science and Arts. While working at Port Jackson Partners she has completed a Graduate Diploma of Applied Finance and Investment at the Securities Institute of Australia. She is currently working towards a Masters of Public Policy at ANU.

Since joining Port Jackson Partners in 2001, Imma has assisted clients in a range of industries, including energy, property, mining, infrastructure and building materials. Studies she has been involved in have focused on setting long term corporate and business unit strategies, developing risk management strategies, organisational redesign and corporate and financial restructuring.

“Having done Honours in Physics and Astronomy, I decided that I wasn’t completely sure I wanted to do a PhD, and wanted to take a break from science. Port Jackson Partners offered me a job based on my analytical and problem solving skills, despite the fact I’d never opened an annual report in my life. Seven years on I still find the work continually stimulating and interesting, albeit very different from how I’d imagined my working life. I particularly enjoy the diversity of experience of consulting offers as well as the opportunity to keep gaining new skills and knowledge.”
