I was born and raised in Yorkshire, England by my parents. I have 2 brothers, one younger and one older. Growing up, I was very close to my family and spent most weekends and school holidays setting off for picnics and camping. Together, we explored most of the UK (including just about every Stately Home and Castle), we had mum to thank for that. Dad was a keen fisherman, and I used to love spending time fishing with him. I was equally close to mum, who was always there for support and guidance.

After leaving school, I started working for an Insurance Company and then into Banking and worked for one of the major banks for many years (you could say that I have always had a passion for numbers).

My husband, Mark, and I have 3 wonderful children, aged 28, 20, and 16 and a cheeky 2-year-old English Cocker Spaniel called Winston.

We are a very close unit and love spending time together, including going out for meals and attending concerts and the cinema together. As a family, we love to travel and have been very lucky to enjoy holidays in some amazing places, especially Florida, Turks & Caicos, Maldives, and many places around Europe.

When our eldest son was 16, we decided to make the big move to Perth, Australia. The main reason for the move was the weather, and, ‘why not, it’ll be an adventure’. We have been in Perth for 12 years now and truly call it home. We spend most of our holidays exploring WA and have visited some beautiful places whilst supporting our youngest son with his golf career.

We are currently building a new home in the Northern Suburbs and are so excited to start on our new adventure.

I joined the Blueprint Wealth Team in 2021, and hold a Cert III in Financial Services and Cert IV in Finance & Mortgage Broking.

I have over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry having previously worked in the Finance and Banking sectors, both here in WA and in the UK. Prior to joining Blueprint Wealth, I operated my own Mortgage Broking business.
