My partner Cameron and I will be running/wheeling the Oxford Town and Gown 10k race this Sunday to raise awareness and funds for Muscular Dystrophy. It would mean a lot if you could donate to our page - all donations will go to MDA UK: sportsgiving.co.uk/sponsorship/en…

If you are waiting to hear about pupillage tomorrow, GOOD LUCK! For those that don’t get offers tomorrow, please take some time to look after yourself. Speak with your loved ones, do things that make you happy, ask for help and reflect. Then try again!

Operation Early Dawn. A study in government incompetence: ‘Tough on crime!’ ‘More police officers!’ ‘Bobbies on the beat!’ ‘More arrests and charging decisions!’ ‘Remand them!’ ‘… JESUS, DONT REMAND THAT MANY WE ARENT MADE OF PRISON SPACES.’

My partner surprised me with a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser machine and said “you will need all the hot chocolate you can get to survive pupillage”😂 I guess he knows me too well!

Last week marked my last day as a COVID-19 Inquiry Paralegal at Bhatt Murphy and today I am starting my pupillage at Nexus Chambers. To say that this feels surreal is an understatement! I want to thank my family as it takes a village for someone’s dreams to come true! 🥰

Court staff has always been fantastic when trying to arrange adjustments. However, the onus to ensure reasonable adjustments (and make sure they are implemented) remains on the disabled individual. This can be very emotionally taxing.

My wonderful friend Abbi Brown is currently stuck in her flat due to a broken lift. There needs to be better provision of accessible housing to prevent situations like this.

For those who have recently sat the BSB Ethics exam during pupillage, do you have any advice in terms of how to prepare or tips to succeed? 😊

“I haven’t seen enough barristers who look like me – I’m changing that for others.” Thank you, Muscular Dystrophy UK, for interviewing me! Discussing access in the courts and my journey to the Bar was a cathartic experience.
