About

My responsibilities cover providing strategic tax advice to our largest corporate clients, helping them navigate complex tax challenges across multiple jurisdictions. This includes both compliance work and forward-looking advisory services that support business decision making.

My approach centres on understanding the client's business first, being knowledgeable about both tax technical matters and commercial drivers and supporting clients' future decision-making processes. I believe effective tax advice must be grounded in a deep understanding of how businesses operate and what they are trying to achieve.

I am energised by working at Ballards because it's forward-thinking, inclusive and exciting. This environment allows us to bring sophisticated tax expertise to complex challenges whilst maintaining the agility and personal service that sets us apart from larger firms.

Outside work, I am a mum and dog lover who enjoys rugby union, walking and swimming.

I provide strategic tax guidance to our largest corporate clients, helping them navigate complex challenges across multiple jurisdictions through both compliance and forward-looking advisory services that support key business decisions.
