Paraplanner
DipFP

Numbers and analysis are my happy place. As a Paraplanner with over five years' experience, I love diving into the technical details that help create clear financial strategies for our clients.

Working closely with our advisers, I get to put my analytical skills to work every day. There's something deeply satisfying about transforming complex financial information into practical solutions that make sense for each client's unique situation.

My love for precision extends beyond the office - I maintain my own detailed budget tracker and genuinely enjoy finding smart ways to manage money. It's not just about saving; it's about making informed choices with every dollar.

When I'm not crunching numbers, you'll find me challenging friends and cousins to mobile gaming sessions or experimenting with new baking recipes.

I also cherish the Christmas tradition my family has of packing food and essential goods for local community members in need.
