a barrister and the Chair of the Association of Disabled Lawyers. My journey hasn’t been without its challenges, as I’ve worked hard to build a career in law despite being told that my speech impediment, use of a wheelchair, and special needs education would stand in my way. Those obstacles only strengthened my resolve. I studied Law at City University and Queen Mary University of London, where I earned two master’s degrees with distinction.

 

My focus has always been on driving change at the highest level. It’s been an honour to be recognised in The Shaw Trust’s Disability Power 100 as one of the 100 most influential disabled people and to receive a high commendation at the European Diversity Awards in 2018. I was also deeply humbled to be awarded the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Award by The Honourable Society of Middle Temple.

 

As Chair of the Association of Disabled Lawyers, I work closely with individuals, organisations, and regulators to improve the experiences of lawyers and students with health conditions. Our efforts were recognized when the Association was nominated for Outstanding Disability Network of the Year at the 2023 British Diversity Awards. Within Middle Temple, I also serve as Chair of the Disability Forum and am a Diversity and Inclusion Committee member. Previously, I was a Board Trustee for Disability Rights UK, the nation’s leading voice for disabled people. I co-authored our response to Parliament’s inquiry into key unimplemented provisions of the Equality Act 2010. During my time there, I also chaired the Income Generation Committee.

 

At the grassroots level, I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and providing workshops for young disabled people through various organisations. I’m proud to stay connected to my roots as a member of the Advisory Committee for Pictor Academy, my former special school. I also participate actively in sports inclusion as the Welfare and Safeguarding lead at Sale United Powerchair Football Club and as Treasurer of the Southeast Powerchair Football League.

 

Every step of my journey has been about creating opportunities—not just for myself but for others. I feel grateful for the support I’ve received and remain committed to giving back wherever I can.
