I've worked within the financial planning industry for 6 years. After joining Platinum in 2022, I completed my advisory training programme which has seen me successfully progress into the role of Financial Planner. Having previously worked in administration and paraplanning roles, I'm able to put my technical knowledge and expertise to good use with my clients. I enjoy working across various advice areas and have a keen interest in working with clients who are focused on asset management and retirement planning. I am always keen to ensure that every client receives the best possible service.
