I read law at Aberystwyth University between 1998 – 2001, and then completed the Legal Practice Course in Chester in 2002. I took some time to go travelling and then joined a firm of Solicitors in Bolton in 2002 where I worked as a paralegal. I moved to another firm of Solicitors in Bolton in 2003 where I undertook my training contract with a full caseload of personal injury cases, qualifying as a Solicitor in 2006.

I joined Forster Dean to head a new office in Preston in February 2011. I now work within the complex claims team based in Widnes dealing with high value and complex claims.

I specialised in Personal Injury Law as I wanted to make a difference to people who have been injured through no fault of their own.

Best Purchase? Gifts that make the recipient smile

Worst Purchase? Probably a pair of (expensive) shoes that I’ve never worn which remain in my wardrobe 15 or so years later

Favourite song? I love music and enjoy many different genres so can’t pick a “favourite” as many tracks hold special memories and most bands I listen to will be unknown to most people reading this  but Apoptygma Berzerk – Unicorn (duet) is probably up there with those I treasure most.

Red or blue? Neither

Favourite TV show? Corrie – I am a secret soap fan (sssh!)

Wine or beer? Neither – but I wouldn’t say no to a glass of prosecco or a gin or two!
