Summary

I am a Bar Training Course (LLM) student at BPP University and recipient of the BTC Future Lawyer Scholarship, with practical experience in civil litigation gained as a Personal Injury Paralegal and through marshalling across several courts. My academic training and court exposure have developed a strong interest in advocacy and complex disputes. Outside of law I enjoy creative writing, mythology and learning chess which are interests that reflect my curiosity about strategy, storytelling and always learning more.
