I grew up in Oxford, before attending Cardiff university and then moved to the hustle and bustle of Camden Town, London where I found a job as an accountant with a small regional firm and started studying for my accountancy qualifications. During my training, I relocated to the Northwest and took the opportunity to work for a bigger firm, which was a top 10 accountancy firm, called Baker Tilly. I completed my qualifications and took the opportunity to see a different side of business, becoming Head of Finance for the UK arm of a multinational leisure organization. After 8 years, I felt that I had done a lot of work helping this huge organisation. Following this I set my sights on helping people deal with the complex world of personal finance, so retrained as an adviser. I love to meet new people and to help use my skills to get their finances to work for them!

I’ve been happily married for 12 years and have 2 beautiful children. I enjoy the great outdoors, coaching children’s rugby, and country walks with the dog being regular pastimes. My family and I regularly holiday in North Wales, Abersoch being a favourite destination. In the wintertime we are all keen skiers and love being on the slopes in France.
