My Professional Background

I joined Attwaters in December 2025 as a Legal Assistant in the Wills, Trusts and Probate department. I hold a 2:1 Degree in Law with American Studies from the University of Sussex and have also completed Level 1 in British Sign Language.
Before joining Attwaters, I spent almost two years working as a Legal Assistant in conveyancing, where I gained valuable experience in client care and property transactions.

About me

I was born and raised in Luton, Bedfordshire, as part of a large Irish Catholic family. Life growing up was never quiet – not with two brothers, two sisters, three dogs, two tortoises and an axolotl in the house!

I have always had a lifelong interest in the legal profession and knew from a young age that I wanted to build my career within the legal industry.

I have a very unhealthy obsession with anything that contains caffeine, and I also have a slightly irrational fear of being bored – it’s never a good idea.

Outside of work, I love travelling, going to the gym and spending time with my friends.
