"In Private Client and Residential Conveyancing, I see how stressful and emotionally testing such matters can potentially be. It is my personal aim to lift this weight from each and every one of my clients by using my own ambitions to provide a friendly, supportive and proactive service which is tailored to the needs of each client. For me, being able to achieve this makes every working day worthwhile"

I live with my husband and daughter in Northumberland. Our young daughter keeps us very busy and on our toes. As a family, we like to take our dog out for walks along the beautiful Northumberland Coast – which is ideal for letting little legs run free and helpful for burning off extra energy. The fresh air and ice-cream always puts smiles on our faces.
