I have been advising private individuals and businesses as a Financial Planner for over 20 years. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and Fellow of the Personal Finance Society and a Certified Money Coach.

As a Chartered Financial Planner, I hold the highest level of qualification available in the Financial planning profession as well as gaining a masters in Finance in 2021.

I set up my own practice in 2020 to follow my passion of bringing straight forward, honest and easy to understand financial advice to those who need it. I called it Simplicity Financial Planning because it helps you create a life where you take control of your money, rather than money taking control of you.

Simplicity Financial Planning will take the time to understand how you want your future to look then create a personalised plan to make it happen. We provide you peace of mind with your personal and business finances. We make it easy for you to understand but also robust enough to provide security in whatever lifestyle you have planned now and in the future.

I live in a 400 year old cottage with my husband, 2 dogs (Maia and Greg), 5 chickens and 3 beehives! I love being outside and in nature and feel right at home digging in the veggie patch or going on road trips to the amazing UK countryside in our trusty campervan! I love being part of our local community and have volunteered as a scout leader for over 15 years as well as being the current President of the Rotary Club of Milton Keynes. For fun, I also love all things creative from playing my accordion and guitar to painting and knitting! My most recent hobby has been to learn how to ring church bells at our local church (but this is still very much a work in progress!)

Favourite food/restaurant – I love all the delicate flavours of Thai food

Favourite past time/hobby – I love all things outdoors and running my scout group allows me to do just that. I love to be creative and musical and enjoy playing my piano, guitar and accordion!

Best country you have travelled to – Italy (in particular the Italian Alps)

Interesting fact about yourself/met famous people/hobby – I was once a finalist for the Haven adult ‘search for a star’ national finals, having won the resort final for the whole season! My career in singing did not get much further than that!

Favourite Books – The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist or Kipps.
