About

I am a recent graduate of King’s College, London, where I earned a Bachelor of Law (LLB) with honors, achieving a 2:1 and ranking second in my Family Law module. My academic journey began at Our Lady’s and St. Patrick’s College in Belfast, where I excelled in Sociology, Art and Design, and History at the A-level, alongside securing top grades in my GCSEs.

During my time at King’s, I volunteered at the Student Legal Clinic, leading a team to provide crucial legal advice to vulnerable clients. My professional experience includes experience in courtroom procedures and legal principles through a legal apprenticeship at the Family and Criminal Court in Northern Ireland. I also gained valuable insights while working as a Photography Sales Assistant at The London Dungeons and as a Sales Assistant at Next Plc.
