I joined Saunderson House in 2009 after graduating from Durham University with a degree in Economics.  I became a Chartered Financial Planner in 2014, and joined Rathbones Financial Planning following the acquisition of Saunderson House in October 2021. I enjoy working closely with clients to help them achieve their objectives, and find the personal nature of the work extremely rewarding. Outside of work I enjoy keeping fit and active, and following the highs and lows of the England cricket team.
