I joined Lawrence Stephens as a Trainee Solicitor in September 2025. I recently completed the LLM LPC at Nottingham Trent University with a Pass with Commendation, following my LLB(Hons) Undergraduate degree where I graduated with a 1st Class Honours. These degrees have built the foundation for my legal knowledge that I cannot wait to showcase.

I have gained hands-on legal experience through internships based in Nottingham and Leicester, and through volunteering with Support Through Courts. These roles gave me practical exposure to working in a legal based environment and helped me develop essential legal skills which coincided with my current skills develop through my part-time work.

Outside of work, I enjoy partaking in a variety of fitness activities and developing my cooking/baking skills.
