Summary

I am a professional, hardworking and reliable worker, with over 15 years experience in the mortgage industry, including roles within Banks, Estate Agencies and as a Self-Employed Broker.

This diverse background has contributed to my in-depth knowledge of the mortgage and protection process and the ability to solve complex problems with a client-first approach.

In addition to my strong understanding of the mortgage and protection world, I am highly organised and proactive in managing multiple cases, meeting deadlines, and adapting to evolving compliance requirements.

I am now looking to continue growing within a progressive firm where I can contribute to a client-centric advice process and further develop my expertise.
