Personal profile
Overview
I joined LSBU in 2015 where I am Senior Law Lecturer in the School of Law and Social Sciences and Director of the University's awarding-winning Legal Advice Clinic. In the clinic, LSBU students provide free legal advice to the public in social welfare law under the supervision of experienced lawyers. My speciality is public and human rights law.
Before my role at LSBU I worked as the Legal Director of Southwark Law Centre in Peckham. I trained at TV Edwards Solicitors and then moved on to Mary Ward Legal Centre in Central London.

Research Interests
My main research interests are access to justice and reparation schemes.
I am one of the founding members of the Windrush Justice Clinic whose aim is to provide access to justice for the survivors of the Windrush scandal, advising on compensation claims for their unlawful treatment by the Home Office. I worked on a research project into unmet needs for legal advice on claims to the Windrush Compensation Scheme. This research demonstrated the need for a fully funded legal aid scheme to cover these compensation claims.
I am a trustee of the Colombian Caravana, a charity which has built an international legal network to highlight and tackle the issues faced by lawyers, judges and human rights defenders. Our aim is to improve access to justice in Colombia, a country where the violation of human rights is a systematic problem.
