I was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2018 and admitted as an attorney to practice law in New York in 2021. I completed my pupillage in September 2024, after gaining 5 years of experience working as a lawyer in international law firms and in other legal roles within international organisations, including the International Court of Justice and the United Nations.
