How can I help you?

I am a Solicitor in the Wills, Trusts and Probate team. I help clients through what can often be a difficult and emotional time by providing clear, practical and compassionate advice.

I assist with the administration of estates following the death of a loved one, helping to make the process as straightforward and efficient as possible. I also advise on and prepare Wills, ensuring your wishes are clearly recorded and your loved ones are provided for in the way you intend. In addition, I prepare Lasting Powers of Attorney, enabling people you trust to make decisions on your behalf should you become unable to do so in the future.

A little about me

The most rewarding aspect of my job is getting to know my clients and supporting them through important life events. I particularly enjoy building strong relationships and helping people feel at ease when discussing matters that can often feel daunting or emotional.

Outside of work, I enjoy walks with my rescue dogs, off-grid staycations, listening to a wide range of podcasts and cooking for family and friends.

My experience

I graduated from Liverpool John Moores University before completing the LPC at the University of Law in Birmingham. I began my career as a paralegal in Manchester before spending almost 10 years working as a legal liability loss adjuster. In 2021, I moved into Private Client law, progressing through the Wills, Trusts and Probate department of a high street firm and completing my training contract in 2025. I joined Jackson Lees' Heswall team in June 2026 and now focus on supporting clients with estate administration, Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
