About me

I enjoy being part of a strong and ambitious team; working with forward thinking clients where I feel I can really make a difference.

I am an Associate Director at Wilson Partners. I joined the company in 2020 after a 15 year career break, having previously spent eight years at Deloitte in the Corporate Tax team.

My role is to advise clients on all corporation tax matters, specifically R&D tax reliefs, which is the area of tax I am most passionate about. I enjoy working with small start-ups across all industry sectors and helping them obtain R&D tax credit reclaims in their early years which then enables them to continue to innovate.
