I began my career as a customer service adviser at the age of twenty in a high street bank. I quickly progressed and gained my qualifications to become a mortgage advisor. I went on to become a Branch Manager spending 9 years in that role before venturing out to be a whole of mortgage market adviser with The Mortgage Selection Bureau Ltd in 2013.

I firmly believe that the client comes first and I find deep satisfaction in fully supporting all of my clients throughout the mortgage process, whether they are first time buyers or experienced home owners.

Before joining The Mortgage Selection Bureau Ltd over 10 years ago I enjoyed over 25 years in the banking sector.

I began my career in as a cashier and worked my way up through the ranks  – Mortgage Manager, Compliance Manager, Branch Manager and Business Development Manager promoting mortgages to brokers, which has given me a good background and understanding about the mortgage market.

Mortgages aren’t just about getting a loan, they facilitate our hopes and dreams and I am very grateful to all those who have trusted me to arrange what is probably the biggest commitment they make,  with  many coming back to me for further advice  as they move or re-mortgage.

​I have enjoyed more than 20 years in the financial services industry before joining The Mortgage Selection Bureau Ltd in 2020.
I began my career selling personal loans and then had my first experience of mortgages selling secured loans. I moved into mortgage underwriting and then into the banking sector as a mortgage adviser then bank manager and area management roles, most recently working for a mortgage network heading up a field risk & compliance team.

My passion lies within mortgages, it’s a great feeling to be able to save clients money through remortgaging and helping customers to buy their dream home!
