Biography
I qualified in August 2026 as a solicitor specialising in inquests and medical negligence claims, following over two years of paralegal experience, helping families seek answers and justice following harm suffered from substandard care. I have a particular interest in human rights and mental health law, and the ways in which these issues can feature in medical negligence and inquest cases.
I work closely with my clients to understand their individual circumstances and ensure they receive the advice and representation they need. My aim is to achieve the best possible outcome while making the process as straightforward as possible

Further information
I graduated from the University of Cambridge in July 2023 with a BA Law degree. I then spent five months working in Housing and Homelessness Law. I am passionate about pro bono work, and in 2022, I was awarded the Access to Justice Award at the LawWorks and Attorney General Student Pro Bono Awards for my work in this area. I volunteer with Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire, where I lead an ‘Access to Justice’ project with the short-term aim of establishing links with local law firms and clinics who can provide legal advice to those who cannot afford it, and the long-term aim of establishing a legal clinic.
I joined Tees in January 2024. I started the solicitor apprenticeship in August 2024 and passed my SQE1 in September 2025 and qualified as a Solicitor in August 2026.
In my spare time, I enjoy going to concerts and spending time with family and friends.
