I grew up in a coastal town on the east coast of Australia where I studied a double degree in Law and Business. At 23 I entered the corporate world as a law graduate at a Sydney firm.
I obtained my NSW legal practising certificate in 2016 (which I still hold) and worked in private practice for about 4 and a half years – predominately in the employment legal team. In 2019 I took a big bold bet and left private practice to become an in-house employment lawyer at a fast-paced technology company. Two years later, I took an even bolder bet and moved with the company to London where I helped support employment legal matters impacting their Northern and Eastern Europe operations. In 2019 an opportunity to take on a hybrid legal / employee relations role arose. The opportunity allowed me to continue to live in London and maintain a connection to my home country. In this role I am at the forefront of providing commercial advice on a broad range of employment matters with the overall aim of maintaining and fostering a positive work environment. I am a calm, practical and solutions-focused advisor who invests time in building genuine relationships with my stakeholders. In my roles, I have supported on people matters across various locations in APAC and EMEA and I am currently based in London. Outside of work, I am a lover of travel, ceramics and the ocean. I also consider myself an amateur (but persistent) cook.
