About me
The area of law that chose me
I joined Calder & Wright as a paralegal while completing a combined Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce. Years in business, marketing and hospitality taught me how to communicate clearly, think strategically and stay calm with people under pressure.
I once pictured a career in commercial and contract law. Working day to day in family and criminal matters changed that. It asks more of me, as a future solicitor and as a person, and it sharpens my resilience, judgment and sense of purpose.
“I want to be the solicitor who is present in the courtroom, strong in advocacy, and committed to people who do not feel heard.”
Resilience
Steady under deadlines and difficult conversations.
Judgment
Careful research before confident advice.
Purpose
Work that matters to the client in front of me.
Practice focus
Where I do my best work
Current matters span family and criminal law, with a commercial grounding from my business degree and marketing career.
Experience
A career built on people
Education & skills
Law, commerce, and commitment
