Profile

I graduated from the University of Western Australia in 2011 with a Bachelor of Laws (Hons)/Bachelor of Science (majoring in Physiology). I wrote my Honours thesis on the authorisation of copyright infringement by ISPs.

From mid-2010 to mid-2011 I worked as a law clerk at Lawton Lawyers. From July 2011 to January 2013 I was the Associate to his Honour Justice Kenneth Martin, a role that I enjoyed immensely. During this time, I became very familiar with practice and procedure in the CMC List and the conduct of civil litigation.

I was admitted in December 2012 and since February 2013 I have been employed at Bennett + Co. At Bennett + Co I have worked on a variety of matters, including contractual, defamation, CATSI Act and intellectual property disputes.

In my spare time I like to cook, dote on my cat and read science fiction novels.
