In 2015, at the age of 27, poor business decisions and an unhealthy relationship with alcohol and drugs lead to my theft of $255,000.00 of client funds, resulting in the collapse of my travel agency business and crisis in my personal life, including 27 months in prison. I chose to take ownership of my mistakes, using my experiences to turn my life around, completing a business degree and a postgraduate law degree in the process.

I have been able to reflect on behaviours that fuelled past addictions and now with strong support networks I have over 8 years of recovery and sobriety. I have so far repaid over $40,000.00 to victims of my offending, with realistic plans to repay the remaining balance in the coming years.

In late 2024 I was deemed a fit and proper person to practice law and am due to sign the Supreme Court Roll in a February 2025 ceremony admitting me to the legal profession.
