About

I joined Lewis Silkin in 2024 as an Immigration Paralegal based in our Dublin office.

As a member of the Immigration Team, I provide fee-earning support to associates across a diverse range of immigration matters. My experience spans right to work applications in Ireland as well as personal immigration cases, enabling me to assist clients with both corporate and individual needs.

I graduated from Dublin City University with a Bachelor of Civil Law in 2024. Prior to joining Lewis Silkin, I gained valuable administrative and public law experience as a Legal Assistant at a leading Irish law firm.
