I joined YSJU Law School in August 2022, coming directly from 10 years in practice as a qualified solicitor specialising in all aspects of Family Law including divorce, finances, public law (care) and dispute around child arrangements. I also acquired experience in other areas of practice including criminal law, private client (wills and probate), housing, Court of Protection and even the occasional neighbour dispute.
I obtained a doctorate in the biological sciences and subsequently taught science at secondary and further education for a period of time before entering the law as a profession.
I am delighted to have joined the law school at YSJ and I very much look forward to bringing together my teaching skills and my recent experiences of the law in practice, to hopefully inspire the next generation of lawyers with a real understanding of the significance of and societal impact of the law, and equip them with the tools to build a successful career.
