About Me

I am an English and Law (BA Honours) graduate from the University of the West of England. My interest in law dates back to my years from secondary school when I became fascinated with current affairs in law, journalism and politics. I was extremely fascinated by the law as everyday events have such profounding effects on the law and vice versa. I went onto to study law at college and proceeded to further into degree level, carrying through to work in human rights law. Research into Government bodies such as G.C.H.Q aided me to build my knowledge further.
During my studies at university I also had the opportunity to qualify as a first aider for St. Johns Ambulance which I find is hugely beneficial.
I have done numerous walks for beneficial charities including raising money for clean water in fewer developing countries.
I have also worked previously on BBC radio Gloucestershire and appeared on the Weakest Link in 2007.
