Why did you choose this career path?
I like working with figures. I enjoyed lecturing in accounts and as a practice manager, my favourite aspect of my work was preparing and analysing accounts. I probably should have been an accountant but I am very happy with my current role which combines both my legal and accounting training.
 
What's been the highlight of your career so far?  
Becoming involved in the management of a legal practice and being able to specialise in accounts.
 
What do you feel most passionate about within your working life?       
Ensuring that work is carried out as efficiently as possible.  
 
What do you feel most passionate about within your home life?
My family, music, keeping fit and playing bridge.    
 
If you won the lottery tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?
I would go on a long, around the world holiday.
