Norwich, England
Joined December 2020
At 13 I went into care. At 16 I was kicked out of care & went back to an unstable situation. At 18 I studied law at uni. At 25 I was called to the Bar. At 26 I secured Pupillage. In interviews, I took pride in who I am & where I come from. It’s what formed the advocate within me.

With pupillage season among us, I wrote a nuanced blog for @lawyerswhocare_ on disclosing care experience on an application. It is not specific to law, but aimed at all #CEP more broadly. I also add 10 top tips for #CEP applicants ⚖️ Hope it helps x

V proud to have contributed to this piece on developing a trauma-informed practice in the Family Law Journal with Amanda Weston KC and Amanda Meusz. Care experience and trauma go hand in hand, so I see TI practices as an extension of my #CEP advocacy ⚖️
