Biography

I am an Associate in the Gatwick Tax Trust and Estates team.

I deal with all aspects of private client work, and advise on wills, trusts, succession planning and lifetime tax planning. I also deal with complex estate administration and probate, including those with international elements. I have experience with later life planning, including power of attorney and Court of Protection work.

I am a full member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP).

I’ve also recently qualified as a notary public. This means I can assist clients with authenticating documents for use in other jurisdictions.

What Inspired You To Get Into Law?

I studied the Supreme Court of the United States as part of A-Level Politics. At the University of Birmingham, I read Law with French. I was attracted to the dynamic nature of the law, as well as the intellectual challenge, and being able to help people.

What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of Your Role?

Having the privilege to work with wonderful clients, and help them at a challenging time in their lives.

What Do You Do Away From The Office?

My young family keep me busy at home. Other than that, I also enjoy hot yoga, skiing, crochet and gardening.
