My profile

Biography

I am a Chartered Tax Adviser but still a keen student at heart - there is still so much to learn! I studied on the Accounting and Finance degree programme at Manchester Met myself, studying it with French, before joining the PricewaterhouseCoopers tax graduate scheme. I started my teaching career at BPP and worked with Tolley and other professional education providers before joining the Manchester Met Business School.
