Biography
I joined Irwin Mitchell as a Solicitor in April 2019 and I am based in our London office.
I have my own diverse caseload of medical law claims including: cancer claims (relating to delay in diagnosis, misdiagnosis and negligent treatment), cases of negligent surgery and negligent medication overdose. I represent families who have been bereaved as a result of substandard medical practice in fatal claims and mothers who have sustained injuries following child birth. I have a special interest in cosmetic surgery claims, advising on the outcome of surgeries including: breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty and liposuction.
I also assist on paediatric claims involving children who have suffered neurological injuries caused by negligence at or around the time of birth, for example due to delays in delivery (causing cerebral palsy).
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?

What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
Knowing that I have helped support my clients through difficult times in their lives and helped them to secure the funding that they need to pay for future care and treatment.
What do you do away from the office?
Outside of work I enjoy dancing, travelling to different countries, and spending time with my family and friends.
