Bio

    I graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in Geography in 2017. In 2020 I completed my GDL, followed by the LPC and Master of Law from BPP University. 

    I joined Porter Dodson in 2023 as a paralegal in the Corporate Commercial department, before starting my training contract in September 2023. I undertook seats in Corporate Commercial, Property Litigation and Employment before qualifying as a solicitor into the Employment Team in 2025. 

    I have been involved in a wide range of Employment matters for both employees and employers, including disciplinary and grievance matters, settlement agreements, Employment Tribunal claims and redundancies. I also advise on the employment aspects of buying or selling a business.

    Outside of work, you will find me running Park Run on a Saturday morning! I also enjoy dressmaking, landscape photography and playing Netball for team PD.

    Everything was explained in layman's terms and executed immediately. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending them and using them again, should the need arise.
