Tell us about your career

I studied at Lincoln University followed by the College of Law York and commenced my training contract in a Yorkshire firm. I have always worked within the Private Client area and pride myself on an attention to detail, solving problems in a clear non complicated manner and being able to explain complex legal issues in an easy to understand manner. I am very client focussed with the satisfaction of my clients being my priority.

I progressed to being Head of Department and Partner at a large Yorkshire firm before deciding that I wanted the challenge and variety of being a locum.

What do you offer the clients of Bookers & Bolton?

I offer a friendly easy to understand solution to complex difficult issues. I like to make the experience for clients one that is not daunting or intimidating and will take as long as is needed to make a client feel comfortable with the advice.

Tell us about you

What was your first job?

I grew up in Lincolnshire and attended local schools, I decided at age 11 that I wanted to be a solicitor as I liked problem solving and wanted to help people.

My first job was in an onion factory peeling onions on a conveyor belt, I did this in the summer holidays whilst I was at uni, apart from it making your sweat smell of onions for months afterwards it wasn’t a bad job and paid well.

What is your favourite film or TV programme?

I like watching True Crime documentaries.

What do you dislike most?

Rudeness, arrogance and chocolate

What country would you most like to visit and why?

I would like to go to Texas on a working ranch to experience the western style of riding and be a cowgirl for a week or two!

What are your personal ambitions?

Little known fact about me – I can play the saxophone and would love a summer job in Ibiza playing Sax.
