I qualified as a solicitor in the family department in September 2024 after completing my training contract with Goughs. My training contract consisted of seats within the Housebuilding and Land Development, Private client and family department. I gained invaluable experience and transferrable skills from each of these seats.
I really enjoy meeting clients and working with them through a difficult point in their lives. I also love the variety that family law has to offer; no two clients are the same. I also find my role fulfilling when I see the positive outcome at the end of each case.
In my personal life, I am often found in the gym. I have taken part in a couple of Hyrox competitions in Europe and aim to complete as many as I can, whilst exploring different cities across Europe.
I am super proud that I qualified as a solicitor within a department that I am passionate about.

My greatest personal achievement is getting a training contract at Goughs.
My biggest personal achievement is completing my first Hyrox event in Poland!
It is a real team effort and everyone is super supportive and encouraging. Goughs have helped me to progress from legal assistant, to paralegal, to giving me a training contract and now moving into my NQ role. I find everyone at Goughs approachable and I am excited to continue learning all of the nuances that come with family law.
