I was delighted when Propertymark invited me to join as an auditor in the compliance team. I began my professional life as a conveyancer, so it was familiar territory after working in the legal sector and in regulatory compliance. I’ve enjoyed the transition from advising clients to advising members; it has been great to meet some of you in person and I look forward to meeting many more in the near future.

Outside work I like to spend time with my two daughters, enjoy firing up the pizza oven for some mean sourdough creations... and I confess to a mild obsession with guitars!
