At just 20 years old, Tina launched her first business—running tutoring sessions from a single room with a big dream to make education more accessible and engaging for kids.

Tina completed her Bachelor of Education from Sydney University, further deepening her passion for learning and leadership.

Tina founded Begin Bright and became a mum for the first time with the birth of her eldest son, Kai. It was a year of bold beginnings—both in business and motherhood.

Begin Bright started expanding through Franchises. Tina’s second son, Cohen, was born—growing both her business and her family.

Begin Bright evolved into a national franchise, growing to over 30 locations across Australia and helping thousands of children thrive.

Tina and her family left city life behind and bought a farm by the coast, creating a slower-paced lifestyle that aligned with their values of freedom and connection.

Begin Bright was sold to a publicly listed company, and Tina stepped into a new chapter with time, space, and possibilities.

Tina, Mat, and their two boys travelled the world for a year, visiting 28 countries. During this time, Tina launched her first scholarship program in Kenya—planting the seed for the Kukua Foundation.

Tina published her first best-selling book, One Life, encouraging women to design their dream life. She also earned her AICD qualification and a United Nations Diploma in global affairs—deepening her leadership and philanthropic impact.

Tina launched Her Empire Builder, a high-level membership for female course creators scaling with strategy and soul. It quickly became a global community of ambitious, heart-led women.

Her second best-selling book, Million Dollar Micro Business, hit #1 on Amazon, helping thousands of women package their expertise and build profitable online businesses.

Tina launched Course Quickies, a template shop created to help course creators build faster and with more ease, offering done-for-you resources to simplify business.

After years of grassroots work, Tina officially launched the Kukua Foundation, providing life-changing education scholarships for girls in Kenya.

Tina continues to speak on global stages, host her chart-topping podcast, and mentor hundreds of women through Her Empire Builder.
