Kelli Gagliardi grew up on her parents’ sheep farm at Naring, near Numurkah, alongside her two older sisters.
Growing up she enjoyed everything that farming and country life had to offer, including riding horses.
Now, although she sometimes misses the quiet countryside, she loves the lifestyle that Shepparton provides.
“I enjoy good coffee, great food and fabulous bubbly,” Kelli said.
“On a weekend I love a late relaxing breakfast in one of the many cafes Shepparton has on offer.”
Kelli has an extensive background in law and is now a commercial property manager and in-house legal adviser at Gagliardi Scott Real Estate in Shepparton.
Kelli is married to director Rocky Gagliardi and said he and their 18-month-old golden retriever Tigga are her greatest supporters.
The transition from law to real estate was an easy one for Kelli, who started working for Rocky and the team in 2020, during the height of COVID-19.
She said her role with the company was varied and challenging, with something new always popping up.
“The most rewarding part of my job is knowing that daily, I am assisting our commercial landlords protect some of their most valued assets.
“Then after work there is nothing I enjoy more than taking a walk with Tigga, who is always in the lead.”
