What attracted you to a career in law?
Not sure other than I was one of 2 pupils in the class at the age of 11 when going to high school who knew what she wanted to do – we both wanted to be lawyers. Nobody else knew. I never wavered from this goal despite upsets along the way. However my father said that I made up my mind very early on many years before the age of 11 when he got a bill from the solicitor who was sorting out my grandmother’s estate!!
What’s the highlight of your career to date?
There have been so many! I just enjoy bringing cases to a satisfactory outcome.
If you weren’t a solicitor what would you be doing?
Dog walking or grooming
