About

I am a Trainee Solicitor at Lewis Silkin, having started my training contract with the firm in 2023. I'm currently in my third seat with the Intellectual Property team having previously gained experience in the Employment and DCC teams.

Prior to joining Lewis Silkin I studied Biology as an undergraduate at UCL and worked in the engineering and technology patent department at an IP firm.

I am a member of the firm's Charity & Fundraising strand and mentor a school student as part of the LS mentorship scheme.
