My first encounter with financial services was a short stint sitting behind the counter at a well-known bank. I quickly moved to a lending specialist where I went on to take my mortgage exams. 

Instead of moving into a role in mortgages, I started to do my financial services exams and secured a role as a Trainee Financial Adviser in my early twenties. 

Lacking confidence and real-life experience, I focused my attention and studies on the technical side of financial planning.

I spent almost eight years at JLT, now Mercer, working partly in a technical capacity and partly in an advisory pension role. 

I have worked for CBW since 2019. I have a small portfolio of clients I actively look after, and I assist the other Financial Planners with technical support for their clients.

What I enjoy most about my job

I enjoy building relationships with clients and getting to work with a well-rounded bunch of people.

About me

Whatโ€™s your favourite way to spend a day off?

Spending time in the garden on a nice day and watching my children play.

Do you support any teams?

My husband is a big Chelsea FC supporter so itโ€™s easier to go along with that. My daughter plays for a grassroots football team (Harefield Girls u8s) so I am often sat on the grass on a Saturday morning cheering her on.
