In year 12, when contemplating my future pathway, my Psychology teacher encouraged me to become a psychologist because of my listening skills, empathy and interest in this subject.
I chose a career that combines both psychology and law. I was drawn to Family Law and Estate disputes and pursued a Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Arts at Deakin University.
I became a Lawyer (4 September 2000) because I wanted to help people overcome adversity. My work provides me with the opportunity to do just that.
I understand the sensitive emotions involved in these areas of law and prefer to resolve matters strategically without court intervention where possible. However, on the rare occasion when there is a fight to be had, pass me the boxing gloves!
The most rewarding part about my work is that I help to empower those I assist to make informed decisions, which enable them to move forward during trying times. The best part is knowing that I have made a positive difference in peoples’ lives.
I feel very privileged to be part of the Joliman team, which is a down-to-earth, regional law firm with solid expertise and a huge care factor. After working in the Melbourne CBD for many moons, I ventured into a suburban practice briefly, before joining the talented team at Joliman Lawyers in 2020.
