I was once described as ‘not a typical accountant’ with the assumption that we only crunch numbers and sit behind a desk. I love transactions and getting lost in detail to achieve accuracy and support decision making. I am high spirited, have a natural talent with people and enjoy supporting others. I have worked mainly in charities and public sector over the past few years. This is my small way of trying to make a positive impact.
I thrive in situations where I can be a backbone for my team members and take on new challenges. I excel in being proactive to try and solve a problem and getting into the detail – my attitude is ‘it can be sorted’.
When not working, I can be found exploring the world, being a carer, trying new food and to not overeat ice cream, getting lost in a book, attempting to learn the keyboard or falling off my bike.
