Having left college in 2000 I started my career working in the accounts department of a car parts retailer. I studied for the AAT qualification but soon realised that a career in practice appealed more so I moved into practice and obtained my AAT and ACCA qualifications working in small and medium practices locally. I joined Blackthorns in 2017 as the Accounts and Audit Manager. I love to travel so it was no surprise when I decided to get married in Mauritius, although in recent years after Harry was born in 2012 our trips have been closer to home. I also enjoy swimming, trips to the park and meals out in my spare time. I love shopping for shoes – even Harry tells me not to buy anymore!
