I am a Trainee Solicitor in my second seat in the Divorce and Family team in our Colchester office.

My first seat was in the Wills, Trusts and Probate team.

I chose to pursue a career in law as I enjoy helping people, as well as learning and working on a variety of different cases. Being a trainee at Birkett Long will enable me to experience different areas of law during each different seat.

I studied my law degree at the University of East Anglia in Norwich and then completed the Legal Practice Course at the University of Law in London. Whilst at university, I undertook extra responsibilities alongside my degree, such as being a Law School Buddy and representing the law school student voice.

In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym and swimming, and I am a keen skier due to having had the opportunity to ski from the age of 4. I also have a passion for travelling to many different countries to explore new cultures.
