Meet the Team – Michelle Griffiths, Partner – Investment Advisory & Wealth

What do you do at TAG?

I provide financial advice for clients – which includes understanding tax, super and financial planning concepts is so important and allows us to navigate the complex financial world to get the best advice for our clients.

How do you prefer to start your day? Tea or Coffee?

Definitely coffee – but I try to drink 1 litre of water in the morning, so my coffee is really my reward!

What was your first job?

I worked in the Deli at Coles in Wangaratta (northeast Victoria) when I was 15 – this was my part time job until I left Wangaratta to come down to Melbourne for University.

What are you reading right now?

Code of the Extraordinary Mind by Vishen Lakhiani – it is all about your mindset, meditation and tapping into the power within.  Very deep but also very practical.

What’s your favorite movie?

Lord of the Rings Trilogy – the last one is my favorite.

Do you have any pets?

Bella, our 13-year-old Chocolate Labrador.

Do you have any special talents?

Something I really enjoy is travel planning. I really enjoy planning locations and activities to make a great holiday (with my friend Wendy), and then do research on the places that we are going to go so that we can enjoy and understand the history as we walk through the various locations- the preparation is a big part of the enjoyment of the trip.

Got any favorite quotes?

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” – Abraham Lincoln

If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Gnocchi. You can just do so much with it, difference sauces, just good for the soul (not so much for the waistline!).

What are three items you’d take with you to a deserted island?
A camera, journal, and a pen.
