If you cannot work because of an injury, mental health condition or other illness, you will know how challenging it can be to pay your bills.
As a senior associate lawyer with Aussie Injury Lawyers, I value the opportunity to help everyday people access their benefits when they need them most. I understand my clients’ often dire health and financial circumstances and work to resolve matters promptly. My focus is to deliver the best possible outcome.
I was born in Melbourne and studied for a Bachelor of Business at QUT, graduating in 2007. I then completed a Juris Doctor at Bond University in 2010. While studying, I secured a clerkship at a top-tier Australian commercial law firm, where I strengthened my passion for law.
In 2012, I was pleased to be admitted as a barrister and solicitor in Canada, later transferring my admission to Queensland in 2021.
Like many young graduates, I decided to gain overseas work experience. Early in my career as a barrister and solicitor, I worked with a prominent boutique compensation law firm in Toronto. I represented clients in civil litigation matters, including motor vehicle accidents, disability and life insurance, occupiers’ liability, and professional negligence claims.
This experience gave me the foundation to be both client- and resolution-focused. I take great satisfaction in achieving the best possible results for my clients, particularly when they need it most.
In 2014 I accepted a role at a large North American insurer, where I was one of the founding members of an in-house staff counsel program for insurance defence litigation. I was pleased to have the opportunity to maintain independent carriage of a broad range of insurance litigation matters and worked closely with the claims department to achieve early case resolution.
I have acted for both insurers and claimants. After many years of advising and counselling insurers, it became clear that my passion lies in representing everyday people. My experience in insurance and claimant advocacy gives me unique insight into how litigation works.
People most often describe me as friendly and compassionate with a sharp mind. I thrive on helping people negotiate complex legal pathways to their desired results. I will be with you every step of the way. I will not rest until you access your just entitlements.
I would love to chat with you about your situation. Please contact me when you need expert legal help with your superannuation, insurance or TPD Claim.
