Career
I qualified in January 2012 and joined Hill Dickinson’s Private Client team a year later in 2013. After promotions to Senior Associate and subsequently Legal Director, I made Partner in 2024.
I started the STEP Diploma in 2013 completing all four exams within two years meaning I became a full STEP member in 2015.
In 2016 I completed an additional STEP Advanced Certificate in UK Tax for International Clients.
I was previously a Committee member of STEP’s Liverpool branch, holding the post of Student Liaison Officer. The current Chair is a member of our team.
I have been a non-executive director of Professional Liverpool since November 2023, a not-for-profit organisation existing to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing amongst professional services in the Liverpool City Region.
I am also a trustee of the Koala North West, a charity supporting Wirral families for whom I have volunteered since 2022.
