Rosemary is an entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience in wealth & tax advisory where she has been recognised with multiple awards and repeatedly in industry media for her business standards and quality of service.

Just a decade into her advisory career, Rosemary managed $220M in assets under management for her clients.

She is a published author of Practicing Hospitality: The Art and Science of Hosting in Your Home. She is an advocate of women, and lives by the philosophy – there are no stupid questions.

Rosemary is deeply passionate about agriculture and dedicates much of her time to Livingstone Farm 1860, a multifaceted agricultural property she owns and operates just an hour outside of the Greater Toronto Area.

The farm is home to a thriving luxury bed & breakfast, offering guests a peaceful escape in a rural setting. It is a hub for sustainable farming practices, lifestyle & corporate retreats.

Rosemary is deeply devoted to philanthropy and volunteerism, focused on faith-based causes close to home. She has served on the board of three non-profit organizations.
