About me

"I am a legal assistant working on the coroner team within the personal injury and medical negligence department.”

I work on the coroner team, having joined Higgs as a legal assistant in July 2024. Prior to joining Higgs, I was a full-time university student, completing my Masters in Law and Legal Practice.

I have been studying law for a number of years and have received both my Bachelors in Law and my Masters in Law and in Legal Practice. Currently, I assist the coroner team on various matters and will also be aiding in the running of the coroner inquests.

I am a member of the firm’s Inclusion Group and also raise awareness for my disability and charity – The Ehlers-Danlos Society – through various media platforms.
