My passion is empowering clients to better understand their legal risks so they can stay in control.

I'm a firm believer that clear communication is the key to reducing the risks of a legal dispute arising as well as in resolving them.

My educational background includes a Master of Laws from the University of Western Australia, a Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from Bond University, a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Notre Dame.

I love all things wills and estates. I found this passion after initially starting lawyer life as a family lawyer. 

I believe a Will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign and it is important to get it right, whether you have simple or complicated family/business structures.

My aim is to help make those awkward conversations easier in planning for the future and to take away some of the stress in dealing with the legal aspects during an extremely difficult time following the death of a loved one.

My greatest job satisfaction comes when my clients’ work is done, seeing the look of relief on their faces knowing that they have their affairs in order.
