What Inspired You To Get Into Law?

A career in law for me has always been about obtaining justice for vulnerable individuals. I enjoy ending the day having helped improve someone's life. Victims of medical negligence have often been through the worst event of their lives, and I enjoy working hard to redress that.

What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?

I enjoy seeing the improvements we can bring about through claims to our clients' lives. We can make real and material contributions to help clients get back to where they should be, or provide the support they need to recover. I enjoy holding hospitals and surgeons to account and getting clients the acknowledgement and apologies they deserve.

What Do You Do Away From The Office?

In my spare time I enjoy being with my family, going on holiday and trying to keep fit!
