Biography
I first started working in the Medical Negligence team at Irwin Mitchell in September 2015 and following my training, I qualified as a Solicitor in March 2020. I qualified into the Medical Negligence team and I have worked in this sector ever since.
I am accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) as both a Senior Litigator and Clinical Negligence Specialist. I specialise in helping both adults and children and I have expertise in a wide range of cases involving stillbirths, spinal injuries, delays in diagnosis and fatal cases.
Charity and community work is also an important part of my role. During my training I acted as a volunteer and coach for the Sheffield Smashers Boccia club, whose members suffer from both physical and learning disabilities. I also led on the relationship with Leeds Mencap when I was based in our Leeds office where I supported them throughout the year with fundraising and arranged free legal clinics for the centre.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
The team is a key highlight of working at Irwin Mitchell. Everyone is so compassionate, and I think this what really makes us stand out to our clients.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
The most rewarding aspect of my role is helping and supporting families throughout their claim.
What do you do away from the office?
Outside of work, I enjoy playing netball and spending time with my husband and cockapoo.
