Biography

I first started working at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú commenced in 2016. Before embarking on my academic career here, I had the privilege of teaching A level law, shaping the legal understanding of aspiring students, and fostering their passion for the subject. My dedication to legal education extended further as I took on the role of an A level Law Examiner, where I assessed the knowledge and skills of future legal minds.

I originally graduated from University with a degree in Law and completed the Legal Practice Course before entering the corporate world, working as an in-house lawyer for a series of high-tech companies. In this capacity, I specialised in contract and commercial law, navigating the complex terrain of legal intricacies that accompany such high-tech enterprises. This practical experience not only enriched my understanding of the law but also allowed me to apply legal principles in real-world contexts, providing valuable insights that I now share with my students.

My diverse background, which encompasses teaching, examination, and legal practice, has enriched my perspective as a legal educator and underscores my commitment to preparing the next generation of legal professionals with both theoretical knowledge and practical acumen.
