I am Senior Audit and Risk/Internal Control manager with more than 25 years of experience spanning areas of internal audit, finance, purchasing, supply chain management and IT. My experience spans a variety of industries and company sizes, including significant experience in manufacturing. My passion for the audit profession resulted in my current role within the Wales committee, where I strive to further the interests of the profession and organise events for our Chartered IIA members. I am presently the Risk and Compliance manager for one of the leading Bath-based MNCs. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities and travelling the world.

Deputy Chair

With over 15 years internal audit experience within the financial services sector, I’ve worked for various insurers and price comparison websites, currently as Head of Audit. I’ve been a Wales committee member since 2019. Being on the Wales committee has allowed me to work with some great audit professionals, expand my audit network, learn so much via the events we run and to get a greater understanding of how the Chartered IIA can support us all in the profession. Outside of work my time is mostly spent entertaining my 2 young children, but I love long coastal walks, music concerts and travelling.
