Senior Financial Adviser - Chartered Financial Planner, FPFS

Rated 4.8 out of 5

Top Rated Adviser 2022

I provide tailored, independent financial advice across a variety of areas including pensions and retirement planning, investment management, and protection. All advice areas are underpinned by a holistic financial plan built using cash flow modelling; this forms the core of any client relationship, subsequent advice, and ongoing review, and is key to ensuring clients’ positions are fully understood before determining suitable solutions.

I started my career in financial services in 2014 upon graduating from the University of Manchester having read Mathematics with French. I spent several years in a technical role before moving back home to London and joining TPO in September 2018, where I have worked in both technical and client-facing roles. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society.

What drives me?

Seeing the difference that sound, independent financial advice can make to clients’ lifestyles and futures. There is nothing better than solving problems clients present to us and working with them as they progress through their financial plans and achieve their aspirations. 


Outside of work, I am a keen sports fan and participant; you will likely catch me on a cycle or playing netball for a local social league.
