What is your favourite quote to live by?
“Long story short, I survived.” -Taylor Swift.
It’s a fun reminder not to take things too seriously, to keep perspective when things get hectic, and to remember that most challenges make a great chapter later on.
Who would be your dream client?
My dream client would be an ambitious, entrepreneurial business with clear goals and a collaborative mindset—one that values legal advice as a strategic tool rather than just a necessity. I particularly enjoy working with growing companies navigating key moments such as acquisitions, investment, or succession planning, where clear, practical corporate advice can make a real difference to long-term success.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending as much time as possible around horses. I ride dressage, which I love for the discipline, precision, and constant learning it involves, and I also play polo, which brings a great sense of teamwork, energy, and competition. Both sports provide a welcome balance to my professional life and keep me active, focused, and challenged outside of work.
What’s your favourite book or podcast?
My favourite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I enjoy its sharp wit, memorable characters, and the way it blends social observation with a timeless love story. It’s a book I can return to again and again and always find something new to appreciate.
If you could give your younger self advice, what would it be?
Ask more questions, take more chances, make the occasional mistake (they make the best stories), and remember that no one else has it completely figured out either.
