As the founder of GSIS, Valerie brings unparalleled expertise and a multifaceted approach to guiding clients through the complexities of migration and business strategy.

A Stellar Academic Foundation

Valerie’s journey began with a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Sydney, where she majored in accounting and developed a deep understanding of business operations and management. Her ability to strategically analyse and plan for business success was sharpened through her active involvement in the university club, Australian Wall Street, where she led initiatives such as establishing and maintaining a sponsorship program with ANZ Bank.

Her academic achievements extended internationally as she became an affiliate of the global body for professional accountants - the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (based in the UK), scoring 1st place in Australia in the strategic exam for Advanced Performance Management (APM). This accomplishment reflects her exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills.

Legal Excellence in Immigration Law

Driven by her passion for empowering individuals and businesses to achieve their goals, Valerie pursued immigration law studies at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Recognised on the Dean’s List of the UTS Law Faculty in 2023, Valerie consistently achieved top scores in her courses, demonstrating critical thinking and an ability to navigate complex legal frameworks. Her excellence culminated in achieving the highest score in the OMARA Capstone Oral Exam, a testament to her outstanding skills in advocacy and legal analysis.

Expertise in Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

Valerie holds a Cyber Security Certificate IV from NSW TAFE, equipping her with advanced knowledge in protecting clients’ data and privacy in a digital-first world.
