I left school and started with Annandale Financial Services as a Trainee Office Administrator in March 2003. I decided to further my career and began studying for my Diploma in Professional Financial Advice in September 2018 and passed my final exam in December 2020.
I live in Eaglesfield with my husband Bob and my two children Jack and Sophie. We spend most of our time mountain biking/walking and love spending time outdoors.
I’m looking forward to settling in to my new role and meeting with clients.
