Biography:
Prior to my admission, I was employed as a law clerk at a busy criminal law firm on the Gold Coast. This gave me grounding and insight into the criminal law process from an early stage in my career. I have been employed at Wallace & Wallace Lawyers since being admitted in late 2014.
Family and criminal law have been my practice areas since my admission. I am passionate about these areas of law. I often meet clients during the most stressful and confronting time of their lives. I am empathetic and listen carefully to my client’s situation and their concerns. I am upfront in my advice to ensure my clients have a thorough knowledge of the process and the likely outcome. This helps my clients in making an informed decision about their matter.
I have appeared in the Family Court, the Federal Circuit Court, the Magistrates Court, the District Court, the Supreme Court and the Coroner’s Court on a regular basis throughout my career. I am a confident advocate for my clients and I enjoy the unique challenges of appearing at Court.
Outside of work, I play netball competitively. I am a member of Galaxy Netball Club, a supportive and friendly club in Mackay. I enjoy hiking and have completed several long distance hiking trips. If I am not at netball or hiking, you will generally find me baking or trying (this far unsuccessfully) to grow vegetables in my garden.
