As a property investment specialist, I'm currently helping our clients in the region navigate the UK property market, with expertise in advising on investment mediums such as Buy-To-Let properties, HMO's, Loan Notes & Bonds, and how to utilise these avenues for wealth creation, income generation, and tax efficiency. If you have any questions about the UK property market please feel free to reach out.

Upon graduating from the University of Bath, I decided to spend the summer as a camp counsellor in the US before diving into the world of financial services. I was given the opportunity to work with KenMont KenWood camps in Kent, Connecticut on their ski team. I became a certified Red Cross Lifeguard as well as acquiring my Connecticut Boat License in order to operate the ski boats and instruct the campers on how to wakeboard and waterski. It was an extremely fulfilling and enjoyable experience, one that I'm happy I took the opportunity to get involved in, before entering the professional world.
