London

I studied Economics and Mediaeval History (MA Hons.) at the University of St Andrews, graduating in 2010.  I started my career in financial planning at Saunderson House in 2011, becoming part of the Rathbones Group when the business was acquired in 2021. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and became authorised to provide financial advice in January 2016.  I work closely with a wide variety of clients from different backgrounds.  I enjoy getting to know my clients, and helping them formulate a strategy to realise their financial goals.   Outside of work, a lot of my time is devoted to my young family.  I am a keen fan of rugby, golf, football and scuba-diving and enjoy travelling.
