What I do
I am a trainee solicitor specialising in criminal law, with a real interest in helping people through what can often be a difficult and uncertain time. I work closely with clients, from providing advice at the police station to preparing cases for court, making sure they understand what is happening and feel supported throughout the process. I am building my experience across a wide range of criminal matters and enjoy the combination of client care, problem-solving and advocacy that comes with working in criminal defence.
I have worked on a wide variety of criminal cases, ranging from straightforward matters such as common assault to serious indictable-only offences, . This experience has allowed me to develop a broad understanding of criminal law and gain valuable experience in supporting clients through what can often be a stressful and unfamiliar process.
I began my legal career in 2023, working at a small firm where I was given the opportunity to gain hands-on experience from an early stage. During this time, I completed my accredited police station representative training, which enabled me to represent clients at the police station and further develop my practical skills. Since then, I have continued to build my experience and grow within criminal law.

What I bring to the team
I bring positivity, passion and a genuine desire to learn and develop. I have had an interest in criminal law since the beginning of my undergraduate studies, and that interest has only grown throughout my career. I enjoy the challenges that criminal law presents and am committed to continuing to develop my knowledge and experience while providing the best possible support to clients.
Languages:
I am fluent in Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal) and I can comfortably understand Spanish.
Key interests
Outside of work, I have far too many interests to choose from! I am a huge Formula 1 fan and support McLaren and Oscar Piastri whenever I can. When I need to switch off, you will often find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe.
I am also a keen bookworm and spend hours photographing. More often than not, you can see me at home learning digital art while I have a true-crime or criminal documentary playing in the background!
