  • About Me

In July 2024, I graduated from Northumbria University with a First Class Masters of Law and LPC exemption. I undertook my training contract with Watson Woodhouse Solicitors in September 2024, gaining my police station accreditation and acting as a Crown Court Litigator. In my role, I dealt with a wide range of matters ranging from cases being committed to the Crown Court for sentence, to trials, re-trials, and appeals. I dealt with a range of offences from theft and dishonesty offences, to drug offences, sexual offences such as rape and sexual assaults, and violent offences such as Assaults occasioning Actual Bodily Harm, Grievous bodily harm with intent, and attempted murder.
