I genuinely love helping people and explaining money in a way that actually makes sense. Finance can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down so clients understand it clearly and feel less anxious is something I really enjoy.

I’m big on health and wellness. You’ll usually find me at a Pilates studio in the morning, followed by a coffee and walk with some girlfriends after. If I’m not chilling at home with my partner and our doggies, we love relaxing together at bathhouses and saunas, and if I’m lucky, I can persuade him to take me for a fancy dinner and a glass of vino afterwards. I’m the biggest foodie and enjoy dining out with my friends and boyfriend.

Before moving into financial advice, I worked as an international flight attendant. I was a Flying Start champion, which meant travelling to communities in places like Nairobi to help deliver aid and support. It was incredibly meaningful work and something I hope to keep doing throughout my life.
