Since starting my legal career in 1992, I have worked for both sole practitioners and legal practices in Brisbane, the Lockyer Valley and Toowoomba in Queensland as well as Tamworth in New South Wales. This has provided opportunities for me to gain extensive knowledge and experience which I bring to my current role assisting the experienced solicitors in our litigation team. I was appointed as a Justice of the Peace in New South Wales in 1999 and a Commissioner for Declarations in Queensland in 2000.
