She put so much into work and her clients loved her, she said. It was hard for people to believe how sick she was because she worked right up until she couldn t and then she still kept working. Having a strong creative steak and an eye for detail before entering the real estate industry, Ms Griffiths got an after-school job at City Beach Cairns when she was just 13 years old. Despite specialist appointments in Brisbane and COVID lockdowns this year Ms Griffiths was determined to follow through with a bucket list property wish, partner Troy McGuane said. She wanted to buy a unit and flip it. She did that when everyone else was reeling from COVID and she was quite sick at that time, he said.
