Biography
I am a Trainee Solicitor within the Medical Negligence team based in our Chelmsford office. I have gained experience in Commercial Real Estate and Risk and Compliance through previous training seats.
I look forward to gaining experience across a range of legal practice areas as I progress towards qualification at Tees.
I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2022 with a First Class in Italian and Spanish. As part of my degree, I spent a year abroad studying at the University of Bologna and working in Seville. I then completed the PgDL Law Conversion in London and gained a Masters in Legal Practice. I passed the Solicitors Qualifying Exams in 2024 and started my training contract in March 2025.
