My journey in law began at the University of Otago, culminating in an LLB and a pivotal role raising funds for Women's Refuge. Transitioning to Ford Sumner, my competencies in legal document preparation and written communication thrived, supporting employment and commercial law teams, and extending to construction and civil litigation. Most recently, I served as a Legal Assistant at MinterEllison London, where our team delivered comprehensive legal and administrative support. This role not only honed my skills in legal advice but also reinforced my commitment to advancing legal strategies that serve community interests.
