Overview

I am an Associate in Michelmores’ Tax, Trusts & Succession team and completed my training contract at the Firm. I thoroughly enjoyed my training journey with Michelmores and have been lucky enough to experience all three of Michelmores’ departments (Private Client, Business and Real Estate) and have learnt a lot from each of them.

I work with the team supporting clients with a variety of Private Client work, both domestically and internationally, which involves estate and tax planning, will drafting, trust advice and management, Powers of Attorney, and estate administration.

I studied my undergraduate degree in English and American Studies (BA) at the University of Leicester with a year abroad at California State University, before embarking on a career in Luxury Travel specialising in Central and South America. Following this, I completed my GDL and LPC with the University of Law in Guildford (LLM), before working as a paralegal doing regulatory work.

In my free time I enjoy being in or near the sea – whether that’s surfing, scuba diving, or reading on the beach! I also love eating out and traveling (who doesn’t?!).
