Experience

I first began my career in tax as an apprentice in July 2011 and have gone on to complete a number of qualifications. I joined the Dafferns team in May 2021 after qualifying as a Chartered Tax Advisor.

My areas of expertise are income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance tax. In particular dealing with Trusts and Estates.

In June 2024, I completed the STEP Diploma, and will become 1 of only 7 full members in Coventry but the only accountant.

STEP is a global professional body, comprising accountants, lawyers, trustees and other practitioners that help families plan for their futures.

I am currently the Chair of Coventry & Warwickshire First Young Professionals.

Hobbies and interests

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I enjoy baking when I can and going to music concerts. I’m currently learning Polish.
