Summary

A Law graduate from the University of East Anglia (UEA) with a 2:1 degree, my career reflects a steadfast commitment to addressing legal and financial challenges with skill and empathy. My volunteer work with Street Law, providing pro bono support to underserved communities, underscored the value of clear communication and genuine dedication in driving impact. Military service further shaped my approach, instilling discipline and a collaborative spirit that I apply to every project. Whether resolving complex issues or partnering with teams, my focus remains on delivering practical, client-focused solutions. I welcome opportunities to engage with those who share a passion for meaningful outcomes.

My financial services experience combines strategic insight with a client-first mindset. As a Senior Financial Adviser in Cyprus, I leveraged legal expertise to guide clients through intricate decisions, ensuring their objectives were met with tailored, effective strategies. At Capricorn Financial in London, I supported a diverse clientele, achieving results through a direct and dependable approach. Simplifying complex concepts into clear, actionable steps is a strength I take pride in. I enjoy fostering trust and delivering success, often with a touch of humor to keep things relatable.
