About me:
Job Title: Practice Manager & Paraplanner
What I do: I have a wonderfully varied role as both Practice Manager and Paraplanner.

Brief Background: After completing university and taking a year out to work for a charity in Africa, I joined Clarus Wealth in 2014 as an administrator.

It has been amazing to be part of the company starting from 3 members of staff to the growing team we have today.
Favourite part of my Job: Designing the financial plans that help our clients to make sense of their finances and help guide them towards their financial targets and dreams. We also have a great team spirit and it is a pleasure to work with some amazing people.
