Biography

I came to Cambridge following on from working for two of Australia’s highest institutions of government: the High Court of Australia and the Upper House of Australia’s Federal Parliament (the Senate). The experience I gained in both positions fed into my longstanding interest in how governments, the legal system, and advocates in general could better serve those who fall between society’s gaps in opportunities and representation. That is an interest I am now pursuing in an academic context at Cambridge through my studies in jurisprudence, civil liberties and human rights as part of the Master of Law (LLM) program. At the end of the academic year I plan to return to Australia and pursue a career as a barrister and in law reform.
