- Bishop's Stortford
Biography
I joined as a Paralegal at Tees in March 2024 in the Medical Negligence department at the Bishop’s Stortford office. I work closely alongside experienced specialist practitioners in the department on a range of legal issues and tasks.
Expertise
We could not fault the service provided by the entire team at Tees. They were responsive, supportive, and extremely professional from start to finish. The successful outcome and the justice achieved were exactly what we had hoped for.
Awards and accreditations
Further information
I graduated with a 2:1 Bachelor of Laws from Durham University in 2023 and have worked in childcare and retail before joining Tees.
Outside of work I enjoy being active, swimming and going on hikes. I also enjoy baking, watching sports and spending time with my friends and family.
