Skills
Throughout my legal career, I have developed a broad range of transferable skills that align closely with the demands of teaching and academic engagement. My work in law requires exceptional communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities all essential for explaining complex concepts clearly and supporting learners with diverse needs. I am skilled in drafting and presenting persuasive arguments, mentoring junior colleagues, and delivering training sessions, which have strengthened my ability to teach, assess, and inspire others. The client-focused nature of my practice has also refined my empathy, adaptability, and interpersonal skills, enabling me to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment. These experiences, combined with my commitment to professional development and enthusiasm for widening access to the legal profession, provide a strong foundation for transitioning into higher education.
About
As a qualified solicitor with eight years of experience in practice, and a record of professional and community engagement, I am now seeking to transition into legal education to share my practical expertise and passion for learning with those studying law. Having qualified through the first solicitor apprenticeship in the North East, I bring a unique understanding of alternative pathways into the profession and the challenges faced by aspiring legal professionals. My background in Court of Protection and wider legal disciplines, combined with experience mentoring, presenting, and delivering training, has equipped me with the communication, leadership, and coaching skills essential for a teaching role. I am committed to developing an inclusive, engaging, and practice-focused learning environment that bridges academic study with the realities of modern legal practice. I d be most grateful to be considered for this opportunity.
