About
I am a Director in the Forensic and Valuation Services team, specialising in the quantification of damages, expert witness assignments and commercial disputes. With more than 25 years of experience in forensic accounting, I work with businesses, legal advisers and individuals to provide robust financial analysis and independent expert support.
My interest in forensic accounting began after joining Halifax plc from university, where I worked in the repossessions unit preparing insurance claims for the bank. I later qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Lee & Allen, gaining experience across a wide range of disputes and investigations before specialising in quantum and expert witness work.
I subsequently joined PwC’s Disputes team within its Forensic Services practice, where I focused on the quantification of damages in litigation and international arbitration. During this time, I supported clients in both bringing and defending claims, working alongside legal teams on complex and high-value disputes.
My areas of expertise include quantum and damages assessments, litigation and international arbitration support, interest calculations, expert witness evidence, technical training, and coaching and mentoring.
Outside of work, I play second violin with the Sidcup Symphony Orchestra and perform in several concerts each year. I am also an active discus thrower with Bexley Athletic Club, where my children are members. I am proud to be the 2023 and 2024 Kent Women’s Over-50 Discus Champion and a Level 2 England Athletics Field Official.
