My career started at Watson Woodhouse in 2011, following working a number of years as a legal secretary for a local law firm within the housing department. I originally joined Watson Woodhouse as a secretary for both the Housing and Mental Health departments.

I then moved solely into the housing department prior to my promotion to Legal Clerk and subsequently obtaining supervisor status in 2017. During this period I gained a vast knowledge of Housing Law particularly, representing clients at Court in possession and eviction cases and defending those in respect of Anti-Social Behaviour Injunctions.

In 2021, I moved to the Civil department as a Paralegal. Since my move, I have gained substantial experience in assisting those in Actions Against Public Authority cases, namely, complaints against the police as well, as helping and representing families throughout the inquest process when families have lost loved ones after involvement with mental health services, the police or whilst detained in prison.

I also regularly assist those wishing to bring a claim due to disrepair being present in their property to ensure that the property is repaired to the standard tenants deserve.
