About

I hold a BSc Honours in Mathematics with Financial Services and am qualified as ATT (Fellow) and CTA in Individuals & IHT and Trusts and Estates, covering all aspects of private client tax services.

My approach to helping clients is built on being approachable, personable, and caring, with a focus on exceptional service and providing expert advice. Private client work often involves sensitive family and financial matters, so building trust and understanding is essential to delivering the right solutions.

What draws me to Ballards is working with great people on interesting work, with collaboration across departments ensuring clients receive a high level, fully rounded service with deep expertise. This integrated approach means we can address the full spectrum of our private clients' needs.

Outside work, I enjoy clay pigeon shooting, travel, reading and yoga.

I provide expert private client advice with a personable, caring approach, building trusted relationships to deliver the right solutions for sensitive family and personal financial matters.
