Barb Popp

A FEW WORDS

Barb’s Story

Barb’s family were pioneers in the sugar, timber and dairy industries in the Mackay area. She is the youngest of 9 children and was strapped to her horse from 3 years of age as she was too young to stay home alone. Her parents worked together to sustain their family on a farm with no income for many years, so there was never an option to not find a solution.

Growing up on a rural property instilled in her a deep sense of independence, creativity, and a relentless drive to find solutions and improve outcomes. This resourceful mindset shapes her philosophy: ‘There’s always a way — what are you prepared to do to achieve it?’

A lifelong advocate for education and growth, Barb actively seeks mentors to challenge her thinking and support her ongoing development, ensuring that her practice remains at the forefront of the field. Her passion for learning and innovation inspires not only her team but all she connects with.
