"I began working at Braye Cragg as a law clerk in my fourth year of university and completed my placement here. I'm now admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of NSW and on the High Court of Australia Register of Practitioners.
My role spans criminal, family and civil law. I work closely with clients to draft court documents, brief counsel, and appear in both the Criminal and Family Courts.
I'd describe myself as driven, quick-thinking, approachable and fun. I'm also attentive and a great communicator. My clients appreciate my people-centred approach and ability to broach hard topics with respect and care.
"I’m passionate about using my education to support and assist others. I love advocacy and have always enjoyed helping people promptly solve problems.
In my free time, you’ll find me camping, travelling, and spending time with my friends.”
