I have been engaged in financial planning since graduating from Queens University with an Honours Degree in Political Science and Economics in 1984. I count myself fortunate to have been engaged in a career that has brought me into contact with some great people, and have gained significant experience of all aspects of financial planning, with particular emphasis on tailored lifestyle planning for high net worth individuals.

With 30 years’ experience of working with Corporate and individual clients I am more passionate now than ever about the vital role of a sound and well thought through financial plan in securing a fulfilling and enjoyable life, and the unfortunate consequences of failing to plan personal finances effectively.

I have been working within Financial Services for almost as long as Arthur and have amassed a vast level of knowledge and experience from my time working with larger, multi-national companies right through to smaller, niche practices.

My main priority is to ensure the client experience is a favourable one - seamless, unobtrusive and gratifying, and I take immense pride in making this happen.

My hobbies include spending time with my family, gardening and shopping!!

After earning my Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Queen’s University Belfast, I decided in 2018 to take my career in a new direction and pursue a career in Financial Services.

I’m now a Chartered Financial Planner and love helping people make sense of their finances and plan for the future.

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me traveling, eating out or shopping.

I started working full time at Arthur Dodds & Co in June 2019 after graduating from Northumbria University with a degree in Business Management, having previous experience of working within the firm through a 6-month placement in 2018 as well as through several summer jobs.

I achieved the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning in 2020, and I am just one assignment away from completing my Advanced Diploma. I am excited to take the next step toward providing financial advice in the near future.

I thoroughly enjoy helping people to understand their finances and plan for the future with confidence, and I take great pride in the service that we provide.

Outside of work I enjoy travelling, eating out, sports and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being an Arsenal fan.

I graduated from the University of Glasgow with an MA in English Literature in 2010 and went on to obtain a Diploma in Journalism.

I then worked in customer service and administrative roles in SSE Airtricity and VFM Healthcare in Belfast before arriving at Arthur Dodds & Co in 2014.

I worked as a client support executive until 2017, when I made a move to South America and spent a couple of years perfecting teaching, Spanish and salsa skills before returning to my old desk back at Arthur Dodds in 2021.

I am delighted to hold the position of client account manager and enjoy looking after my ‘flock’ of clients and learning more about innovative new finance products.

In my spare time, I can usually be found on a mountain, in a restaurant or walking a good boy down at Assisi animal sanctuary.
