Meet our Mortgage and Protection Advisers

I have been in the industry since 2005, first starting my career with a major high street bank. I then became a senior adviser at a well respected IFA in Reading, before joining Beechwood in 2013. Living locally, it is especially rewarding for me to be able to build up close relationships with my clients and I am proud to have earned their loyalty and trust. In my spare time, I like to stay active by training at the gym, attending local Reading football games and spending quality time with friends & family.

With an extensive background in financial services, I have been helping people reach their goals since 2014, starting at a high street bank. After this I have worked in the new build sector whilst also assisting both police officers and military personnel with their mortgage options. What really excites me is seeing clients turn their dream into reality – making everything as smooth sailing as possible. When not working hard, I keep busy chasing after two young daughters alongside our Labrador. We love to be outside and taking trips away in our family campervan.

With over ten years of experience in financial services, I've helped clients achieve their mortgage goals starting from my beginnings at a high street bank to later specialising in self-employed and contractor mortgages. I then moved into assisting first-time buyers with limited deposits or affordability issues. Now at Beechwood, I'm able to assist an even wider range of clients, from first-time buyers to investors. When I'm not working, I love taking short walks with my husband, daughter, and two pugs. I also enjoy cooking and spending time in the garden, weather permitting of course!

I started my career in the hospitality industry, where I developed a strong interest in connecting with people and helping them make informed choices. This naturally led me to the estate agency sector, where I enjoyed helping clients find the right home. Over time, I realised my focus was on supporting people through important decisions leading me to wanting to help people choosing the right mortgage and insurance. It’s rewarding to help others navigate these key milestones with clarity and confidence. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and son. When I need a break, you’ll often find me on the golf course, taking some time to relax.

I have worked within the financial services industry since 1999 and as a mortgage adviser since 2004. Part of this time was spent in a High Street bank before settling here at Beechwood. It is an immensely rewarding job, and I have been privileged to help many different people buy their own homes. Originally from Tilehurst, I now live in Cholsey with my wife and two young daughters, who are the light of my life! When I’m not busy looking after them, I like to switch off by keeping myself active – particularly running and playing squash. Mountain biking is my newest hobby that helps me relax while exploring nature.

After two decades cultivating the art of excellent customer service in retail management, I followed my heart and now use those same skills to help families realise their dream of home ownership. With Beechwood behind me, finding an ideal fit for clients is made even simpler. Outside of work, family are priority, as well as fitting in time for the occasional game of golf!

After 5 years in HR, I took the plunge to change careers and move into the mortgage industry, inspired by my own homebuying experience. I started in an administrative role, gaining a wider knowledge of the mortgage advice process and keying applications, before being given the opportunity to join Beechwood as an adviser. I love being able to work directly with clients and find it so rewarding to help make their mortgage journeys as smooth and straightforward as possible. Outside of work I love baking, hosting games nights for my friends, and getting stuck into DIY projects!
