Description
I am very excited to be articling at Corvus Law. From a very young age, I have always had a passion for law and justice. This passion led me to obtain a Diploma in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in Justice Studies. During my undergrad, I volunteered with a youth transitional house and completed a practicum at Saanich Police Department. After growing up in North Saanich and completing my undergraduate degree in Victoria, I decided it was time to spread my wings and use my British dual citizenship to travel abroad.

I traveled to England where I completed my law degree. Following law school, I moved to Toronto where I completed my Masters in Law (LL.M.) at Osgoode Hall Law School at York University. After completing my Masters in Toronto, I decided that one year with a cold winter was enough for me and it was time to come home to the Island.

Prior to articling at Corvus Law, I was a court clerk at the Victoria Courthouse and a legal assistant with the Criminal Appeals and Special Prosecution sector of the BC Prosecution Service. While I was completing my LL.M. in Toronto, I worked as a Student-at-Law for a small boutique firm working primarily on real estate, wills and corporate matters.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking all of the beautiful trails on the Island, snowboarding, swimming in lakes and spending time with friends and family.
