About me

I graduated from The University of Southampton with a degree in Economics and Politics and went to work for a family run private equity firm. I then moved onto a financial advisory firm in Reading where I worked as a Paraplanner. Whilst there I completed my Diploma in Financial Planning and learnt a lot about pensions! I joined Harding Financial in 2020 and love being part of the Harding team.

What I love about Harding Financial

The way we approach client relationships - it's not just about offering financial solutions; its about making sure our clients truly understand the strategies we put in place for them. At Harding, we believe that when clients have a clear understanding of what we have recommended and why, it creates a sense of clarity and confidence. Working together to build a financial plan then becomes a collaborative, empowering process - and that's something I really value!

What sets us apart is our team approach. Finances are one of the most important aspects of life and knowing that our clients have access not just to me, but to the collective expertise of the entire team is incredibly powerful. We work together to offer fresh perspectives and a wider range of insights, ensuring our clients receive the most comprehensive support possible.

As I look towards the future

I've really enjoyed expanding Harding's client base in London and am excited to continue developing connections in the area to further grow our reach. I'm also actively working towards achieving Chartered status and have set myself the goal of completing my exams by summer 2026.

At the weekend you'll find me

You'll find me exploring London with friends and trying out new restaurants. I'm also a keen runner and love starting my Sunday mornings with a run around Battersea Park.
