Before joining Tees in 2019, I graduated with a first-class LL.B. from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge and worked in various in-house legal roles in the utilities and pensions sectors.
In 2021, I was awarded a scholarship by the Law Society of England and Wales through their Diversity Access Scheme, which supported my Legal Practice Course (LPC) fees. I completed the LPC on a part-time basis while continuing to work full-time at Tees.
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.
Outside of work, I am passionate about the countryside and rural affairs. I serve on the GWCT Suffolk Committee and am currently learning to shoot clays. When I’m not at local Point-to-Point fixtures, you’ll likely find me out on long walks with our cocker spaniel.
