My initial career was in science but I started working in the financial planning arena some twenty-five years ago.

I have had a number of roles in practice development and research areas and advice, but have been full time advising for the last ten years.

I am in the process of completing my Masters of Financial planning and my accounting degree and have post-graduate qualifications in tax advice.

My three children and my partner take up most of my leisure time but when I have free time I spend this reading history and popular science topics.
