I am a Chartered Financial Planner and have eight years’ working experience in the UK financial services profession. Although I am not an adviser, I specialise in providing technical support to advisers regarding pension planning, wealth management, inheritance tax planning / tax planning, financial planning and cashflow planning.

Outside of work

I like to spend my spare time with my loved ones as well as pursuing my interests, which include reading, socialising, travelling and sports. My favourite sport to follow is cricket.

However, the sport I participate in most actively is climbing/bouldering. I really enjoy the mental and physical challenge it provides, and I’ve been struck by the friendly camaraderie within the climbing community – strangers are genuinely happy for you to succeed (often providing guidance) irrespective of the level at which you can climb.
