Legal Administrator

My family made sacrifices. Sacrifices ranging from immigrating to a foreign country, adapting to a new culture, facing racism, establishing a successful business while working 7 days a week, just so that I could be the first in the family to attend university. 

I was fortunate to pursue my studies in Law and become a Solicitor, overcoming sector hierarchy, glass ceilings, social backbiting, life-threatening illness and barriers to progression in my pursuit of qualification.

I have worked in law firms, in-house legal teams, retail and industrial roles in my career. I am fortunate to have been in roles ranging from retail assistant, sales advisor, recruitment consultant to EMEA and sole legal counsel for FTSE and Fortune 500 companies. 

I am only where I am due to the support and sacrifices my friends, family and loved ones made for me. 

I now try my best to support the next generation of aspiring lawyers and legal professionals, and happy to connect with like-minded people.
