Biography

I joined Tees’ Commercial Property team in 2025 as a Paralegal based in Bishop’s Stortford. I have over three years of experience in commercial real estate having joined from a market leading UK law firm where I specialised in the investment sector, plot disposals, ESG considerations and agricultural transactions.

I take a collaborative and proactive approach to my work, helping clients gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of their matters. I support senior lawyers on high-value and strategic property matters, and I am focused on identifying opportunities to add value and drive clients’ objectives forward.

I value Tees' commercial property practice for its exceptional legal expertise and strategic approach to property transactions. Their deep understanding of property law, local planning knowledge, and contractual intricacies ensures that matters are thoughtfully considered and strategically structured to protect my interests while remaining compliant with legal requirements.

Further information

I completed my Law degree at the University of Reading in 2021, followed by the Legal Practice Course and LLM in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Law in 2022. Alongside my studies, I volunteered as an advisor at Citizens Advice and a small business advice line, supported a local primary school as a teaching assistant as well as at a mediation charity – work I enjoyed so much that I later became accredited as a CIArb, CMC and IMI mediator.

Outside of work, I enjoy ice skating, trying new recipes, gardening (weather permitting!) and spending time with my cats, Kenzo and Kiki. I hope to qualify as a solicitor in the short-term future and continue developing my career at Tees.
