I am a paralegal in the Private Client department, based at the Tees North Herts office. I provide support and assistance in various matters, including Wills, Probate, Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) with clarity and care.

I've never found an area where Tees have been unable to help. There is considerable strength across the organisation. Individuals have good contacts outside of their practice area. I have always found Tees accessible and helpful.

I previously had a successful career in the IT industry, fulfilling a diverse set of roles, including technical design, client management and team management. I have always been interested in law and have taken the decision to retrain as a solicitor to achieve that career aspiration.
I graduated from the University of Manchester and passed the Solicitors Qualifying Exam 1 (SQE1) in September 2024. My aim is to sit the final examination in the near future whilst gaining further legal experience at Tees on my path to qualification.
I am keen to stay active and enjoy running and playing Badminton. I also love to travel and experience new cultures and cuisines.
I approach everything with a positive attitude and believe that “Happiness is a warm puppy” – happiness can be found in simple moments, like a good conversation, reading a book, or the peace of nature.
