Queensland Law Society
Australian Lawyers Alliance
Strata Community Association (Qld)
Gold Coast District Law Association Inc

She has written and presented various papers on the topic of personal injuries litigation with a particular focus on the cross-over of strata and body corporate law and personal injuries liability.
“I find the depth and quality of human connection to be the most rewarding part of working in this area of the law because it provides endless opportunity to positively impact the lives of others. I have always been someone who is drawn to helping those who are vulnerable and so it makes absolute sense to me that I have gravitated to working in an area of the law where I have the privilege of advocating for vulnerable people every day. ”
