My name is Kirstie Pegoraro and I have recently started work at Macrossan & Amiet as a Trainee Solicitor. I am from Ayr and last year completed a Bachelor of Law at James Cook University, Townsville. Coming from a family of cane farmers I grew up on a farm and have been visiting the Whitsunday region for as long as I can remember. I grew up spending the majority of my school holidays in the Whitsundays with my family who have always expressed a passion for the area.
I feel very lucky to have been given the opportunity to work here at the Cannonvale office as living in this area feels like a home away from home. I look forward to learning the ropes and having the opportunity to get to know the staff and I hope to develop great working relationships in the future.
