Biography
Before joining Tees in 2019, I graduated with a first-class LL.B. from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge and worked in various in-house legal roles in the utilities and pensions sectors.
In 2021, I was awarded a scholarship by the Law Society of England and Wales through their Diversity Access Scheme, which supported my Legal Practice Course (LPC) fees. I completed the LPC on a part-time basis while continuing to work full-time at Tees.

Outside of work, I am passionate about the countryside and rural affairs. I serve on the GWCT Suffolk Committee and am currently learning to shoot clays. When I’m not at local Point-to-Point fixtures, you’ll likely find me out on long walks with our cocker spaniel.
