About

I am a member of the Data, Privacy & Cyber group in the London office. I work on a wide variety of data protection and privacy matters, including responding to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), developing multi-jurisdictional retention schedules, and drafting privacy notices.

I also have in-house experience within a FTSE 100 Index finance company, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the commercial and regulatory challenges clients face. Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I also worked at a leading legal information company, primarily supporting the Pensions and Employment teams.

At the time of writing this, I also have a passion for crafts. I like to think I am just as good at tying up loose ends in a DSAR as I am in a crocheting project.
