At work

In my role as Paraplanner, I liaise with existing and new clients throughout their journey with us, and support Jonathan on all aspects of the financial process.

What else?

I run a busy household with two teenage sons. I also teach and tutor primary school children as well as my role in finance, so when I do have spare time I enjoy swimming, going to the gym, pilates and reading.
