Bio

I did my undergraduate degree in French and Philosophy at the University of York, followed by a Master’s in Law (conversion) at the University of Law. In 2025 I started the Solicitor Graduate Apprenticeship with Porter Dodson. 

I work with landlords of commercial and residential properties as well as with individuals and companies with disputes such as leaseholder disputes, adverse possession and TOLATA disputes. For commercial landlords, I have also done end of commercial tenancy work such as serving a schedule of dilapidations. 

I aim to build a good rapport with a client and ensure that the client relationship is based on trust.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking in the surrounding Dorset countryside, travelling to different corners of the world to try different cuisines and spending time with friends and family. 

Testimonials

I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to you. Aside from your legal work for us, you were very kind and so helpful and easy to talk to. It made a big difference to be able to talk comfortably to you. You have excellent people skills and are a credit to Porter Dodson. Thank you so much for all that you’ve done.
