Profile / Experience
I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Public Law department based in the City of London Office. I work on a range of legal aid matters, assisting with issues including judicial review, unlawful detention and challenges to decisions made by public authorities.
My background is in family, immigration and human rights law, having previously worked as a Paralegal for two years. I have provided support on a wide range of matters, from asylum and immigration cases to domestic abuse and care proceedings, often where public law issues overlap. This broad foundation allows me to approach each case with a clear understanding of how different areas of law intersect.
Alongside my legal practice, I remain committed to access to justice and community-focused work. I have volunteered with legal and humanitarian projects in the UK and abroad, including a human rights legal clinic in Tanzania. I have also lectured for two years, running a course on Business and Human Rights in the Fashion Industry at Istituto Marangoni, exploring the role of human rights law in corporate and global contexts.
I hold a Master’s of Law in International Human Rights Law, with a focus on International Refugee and Migration Law from SOAS University of London and speak English and Italian fluently, with working knowledge of French and Spanish. I am also currently improving my Swahili.
