I joined Devonports as an accounts clerk in February 2003 and in April 2014 I became a director of the company. I look after my own clients, continue to grow my portfolio, and have also expanded the company over the last few years. I am fluent in three languages, including Italian and Albanian which enables me to assist both companies and individual clients in all areas of accountancy. My friendly manner and approachability ensure that clients feel at ease when talking through any issues. I became a Member of the IFA in March 2013, and a Fellow in 2016. My first branch meeting was in March 2013, when I attended the inaugural Essex branch (as it was then) meeting and found it to be informative and supportive to members, providing great CPD and the chance to network with professional colleagues. I enjoy playing football and participating in outdoor sports and sailing. A keen traveller with a Mediterranean background, I have a vast knowledge of cuisine from that area. Just ask me about my roast lamb!
