  • She completed an LLB through The Open University at 18 and finished the Legal Practice Course alongside an MSc in Business, Law and Management with distinction by 20.
  • After remote study, she passed the Solicitors Qualifying Examination part two in November 2024 to meet the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s practical skills requirements.
