In My Own Words
Some defining moments in my career so far have come through the business development opportunities I’ve been fortunate to be involved in. These have included running our annual London fashion events with brands like PUMA, hosting cheese nights for clients (complete with giant Stilton cheese wheels), and working with students and start-ups at the Royal College of Art.
Another key milestone was qualifying as a solicitor in 2024, having been part of one of the first SQE cohorts.
