Biography

I am an Occupational Disease Solicitor based in the North of England. I specialise in recovering compensation for people who have a workplace illness. I started my career at Irwin Mitchell as a Trainee Solicitor in February 2021 and qualified as a Solicitor in February 2023.

I help clients with asbestos related conditions such as asbestosis, pleural thickening, lung cancer and mesothelioma. I also help clients with a range of other diseases such as asthma, silicosis, Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome and dermatitis.

What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?

I work with an incredibly talented team of experts who are extremely passionate about their job. Everyone is valued and everyone has a voice.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?

The most reward aspect of my job is undoubtedly our clients. Every client is different, and it is a privilege to be able to get to know our client's and help them through difficult circumstances.

What inspired you to get into law?

I have always had a desire to help people and support those who have been injured through no fault of their own. This passion progressed during my early career and set me on a path to occupational disease law.

What do you do away from the office?

I am a keen netballer and play several times a week. I also love to spend time with my family and friends.
