I hold a double degree in Law and Public Communications (Public Relations) from the University of Technology with Distinction. I am admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of NSW and High Court of Australia. I’ve spent the greater part of six years absorbing and understanding the nuances of private legal practice, having worked at both national and international law firms in Australia and abroad. My keen interest in tech-centric disciplines, including cyber, data, and privacy, coupled with my strong background in corporate, commercial, automotive, and workplace law, are integral to my current role as Senior Legal Counsel at Volkswagen Group Australia. Having been a long-time consumer of the Volkswagen brand (and Golf R enthusiast) before joining VGA, it’s a privilege that I’m able to live and breathe my passion for the law and European cars at an organisation driven by transformation. If you don’t find me in the office, you’ll find me racing cars on the track!
