I have been doing Finance for 20 years now and have been a professionally qualified accountant for 10 of them. I’ve had a number of jobs outside of the academic world, including Sophos (IT) and Bicester Village (luxury fashion) but all of them largely involved making Finance work better, and that’s now what I do at St John’s. This role has the added bonus of allowing me to work in the heart of Oxford, the city I’ve gladly called my home for the past 20 years.

When I am not happily walking the streets of this marvellous city, you’ll find me in the allotment planting vegetables. So I’m always happy to assist with anything of a financial nature, but could also offer reasonable advice if you’re just looking to grow tomatoes.
