I am an Associate in the Medical Law team at Slater & Gordon and I have worked in this team since 2017. In particular, I am passionate about the rights of individual Plaintiff's and fighting for compensation where they have been injured in medical malpractice.
In 2018 I was listed as one of the top rising star lawyers in Victoria by the Law Institute of Victoria and in 2019 I was a finalist in the Lawyers Weekly 30 under 30 awards Australia-wide.
In addition to my medical law practice I run a pro bono practice assisting particular NDIS appeals in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. I have also presented at various conferences encouraging other lawyers to take up this pro bono work.
I sit on a number of boards / committees including the Victorian Women's Lawyers (VWL) Law Reform Committee, the Slater and Gordon Ethics Committee, the Human Resources and Ethics Committee (HREC) with the University of New England (UNE) and have been the secretary of the Australian Lawyers Alliance (ALA) Medical Law Special Interest Group since May 2020.
Outside of my medical law practice I have published a number of medical law related academic articles, am an avid football fanatic (midfield / half forward flanker at West Brunswick AFC) and perform violin in the Melbourne Lawyers Orchestra
