What is your average day like:‍

My perfect day would start with something I truly value – spending the morning with my daughter, getting her ready and taking her to nursery. It’s my favourite part of the day, and having a role that allows for that kind of flexibility works perfectly for me and my family. Once the workday begins, I’d spend time reviewing client cases, preparing for meetings, and following up on holistic financial plans. I’d have a couple of meaningful meetings with clients – discussing everything from retirement goals and investment strategies to ensuring they have the right protection in place. No two days are the same, which is exactly what I love. In the evening, I’d be available for client appointments outside of standard hours, offering flexibility to fit around their busy lives. Whether it’s a video call or a face-to-face meeting at a time that suits them, I’d feel fulfilled knowing I’m supporting their financial journey in a way that works for them.

What do you like most about your job?

What I enjoy most about being a financial adviser is the opportunity to support clients throughout every stage of their lives. Since starting in this role, I’ve had the privilege of working with some clients for over five years – many who were in their early 50s when we began and are now approaching retirement. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how their plans have evolved over time, year after year, and to have played a part in helping them grow, adapt, and achieve their financial goals. I’m excited to continue supporting them into retirement and helping them achieve the lifestyle they’ve always dreamed of.

How long have you worked in Financial Services

I’ve worked in financial services for over 12 years, starting my career as a Mortgage Adviser before moving into holistic financial planning. I made this transition because I’m passionate about supporting clients through their entire financial journey – not just during the home-buying process. Building long-term relationships and helping clients navigate all aspects of their financial lives is what truly motivates me.
