Biography

I qualified as a solicitor in October 2020 and joined Tees in August 2025.

I have extensive experience in dealing with education related matters. I have experience and have advised in respect of:

• Special Educational Needs, including needs assessments, Education Health and Care Plans, statutory provision and appeals to the First Tier Tribunal.
• Disability Discrimination in the First Tier Tribunal
• Judicial Review claims in relation to Education Health and Care Plans
• School Admissions
• Exclusions.

I provide clear, practical, and succinct legal advice to my clients. I have a solution focused approach and always seek to resolve disputes at an early stage wherever possible.
