About

Post school I envisaged becoming a software engineer, learning C++ as part of a Computer Science A-level, however fell in love with Economics, going on to complete an Economics degree at Southampton University. During my second year I completed an internship with EY, working with some of the UK’s biggest financial services businesses.

After graduating I continued at EY qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, before moving into Corporate Finance at Deloitte, working in the turnaround team. In 2019 after 5 years in consulting, I realised a move into venture would suit my glass half full mentality, joining Wealth Club where I worked with over 20 technology businesses supporting fundraises of £0.5m-£2m – primarily across B2B software but also in D2C technology and healthcare.

I joined Mercia in 2021 and have been involved with 6 companies. I am focused on B2B software and D2C technology, particularly focusing on purpose led businesses, supporting their growth at the Series A stage and beyond.

I am a firm believer that investing is all about relationships.
