Prior to founding TLS:
- I was a director of a boutique law firm where I gained valuable experience as a lawyer and as a small business proprietor. This real-life experience means I understand the needs of my diverse client base and I am equipped to deliver practical solutions to achieve any legal objective.
- For more than a decade, I was a director of the largest law firm in Fremantle. I was directly involved in restructuring the firm, updating the information technology systems, upgrading its offices, refining financial control and reporting processes and developing strategies to underpin the firm’s plans for growth.
I am continually reviewing business processes and promoting a strong performance culture to ensure that clients of TLS receive the highest standard of legal services.
I enjoy combining my leadership skills with my legal technical capability and knowledge gained through real-life experience.
This supports my supervision, guiding and mentoring of law graduates and junior lawyers on their journey towards a rewarding and fulfilling legal career.
My passion is to ensure our team delivers tangible, tactical solutions for our diverse mix of clients, while providing an environment in which our people can thrive.
I am passionate about my interests as an active member of several local clubs and associations, volunteering my time as a committee member and organising events.
