What is your favourite part of your role?

I really enjoy the diversity of the cases I handle. It’s rewarding to be able to help people during difficult times in their lives. No two days are ever the same, and that keeps the work engaging and challenging.

What do you like most about working for Simplicity Legal?

The flexibility is fantastic, and the team here is incredibly supportive. I love the fact that the work is both interesting and offers ongoing learning opportunities, which makes it a dynamic and fulfilling environment.

What skills do you find most useful in your role?

The ability to listen attentively and be understanding is essential. Also, being adaptable and able to manage the different types of work is key, as every case is unique.

What is your proudest achievement?

Becoming a mum to my little boy is by far the hardest but most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. It’s truly the best job in the world. Being a lawyer is a close second, as it was always a goal of mine, and I worked hard to get to where I am today.

Outside of work

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running, going on long dog walks and, of course, getting some much-needed sleep.

My favourite places to go on holiday are New York, or spending time at my family’s house in Dunoon. Both places hold special memories and offer a relaxing escape.
