Overview
I am a Graduate Solicitor Apprentice, currently in the Corporate team in Bristol and Exeter. Alongside this, I study part time at the University of Law, completing the SQE 1 and 2 Preparation course.
I am also the co-founder of The National Community Law Project CIC which offers legal support to low income and vulnerable people who would otherwise not have access to legal. We consist of volunteer paralegals across the world that work both remotely and in different offices across the UK.
I am currently the Health & Wellbeing Officer for the Bristol Junior Lawyer Division Committee for 2024/2025. Previously, I was an elected Pro-bono, Media and Events officer for the Cardiff and South-East Wales Junior Lawyers Division Committee for 2022/2023.
Outside of work, I am very passionate about music and sports. I’m a self-taught pianist and guitarist who occasionally performs at open mics, concerts and is an honorary member of the Michelmores Firm band that performs in Exeter. I have performed in various collaborations and international competitions as part of Cardiff University Show Choir including a male lead solo I did at our university graduation. I also founded the Michelmores Music Club.
I professionally modelled for a few years, taking part in multiple fashion week showcases across the UK as well as acted in various commercials, short films and TV shows such as BBC Casualty. I also play for Bristol Volleyball Club on their competitive Mixed Team in the local Bristol District League when I am not playing with the locals at Queen Square.
