About

I am a Data & Privacy Analyst in Lewis Silkin's Data, Privacy & Cyber team. Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I have gained over two years of experience in ensuring compliance to legal and regulatory obligations associated with data processing activities in-house. I am currently qualifying via the Solicitors Qualifying Examination route.

I have been involved in advising a wide variety of high-profile clients on a range of data and privacy compliance, including privacy notices, online data collection, marketing strategies, data processing and sharing arrangements, international transfers, and DPIAs,

I am also a part of our Interactive Entertainment group and have a particular interest in data and privacy compliance in the games industry.

Outside of my legal work, I am a volunteer call handler for the Strut Safe initiative, an organisation founded as part of dismantling the systemic violence against women and other marginalised groups by helping anyone who feels unsafe walking in public. I participate in the St. Albans Reading Scheme, in which volunteer "buddies" from Lewis Silkin partner with a child from the St Albans school to develop their reading skills.
