Summary

For more than 19 consecutive years I was employed by Aviva, most recently, Aviva Investors. During this time, my key role was to manage and record the movement of over 350,000 documents. I have assisted with the completion of multi-million-pound finance transactions and supported the deeds management of several high value and high-profile loan restructures. I am driven, diligent and thrive in challenging and high-pressure environments. I excel as a team player as well as being comfortable using my own initiative to meet the desired timescales. I do not shy away from hard work and in the last decade have only taken 2 days of absence.

Interests

I enjoy watching football and dedicating Sundays to supporting one of my daughters during her matches. This routine has been a source of social engagement for me for the past 13 years, ever since she was a child. Through this interest I have cultivated a heightened sensitivity towards individuals and nurtured a caring disposition. I derive satisfaction from engaging in activities such as playing snooker and pool, as well as solving puzzles, all of which stimulate me intellectually and provide a sense of challenge.
