My Achievements

I studied law at Warwick University and obtained a distinction on the Legal Practice Course. I completed my training contract with Woolley Bevis, qualified as a solicitor in April 2010 and in September 2015 was appointed as a partner of the firm.

I am a member of the Property Litigation Association and Sussex Law Society.

My hobbies and interests

I am a very keen wine drinker and have monthly wine tastings with friends. My wine teacher says that the more you drink the better you become as a wine taster!

I am always looking for something new and exciting to try. Most recently this has included Glastonbury, Glyndebourne and dumper truck racing.
