Born and raised in Carshalton, Surrey, I’ve long been fascinated by the stories that shape our past — a passion first sparked by countless hours spent reading Horrible Histories. I went on to study law at the University of Hertfordshire, later completing a master’s degree in legal history at the University of Reading.

Today, I bring together my love of history and the law by delivering lively, accessible talks to groups and organisations, exploring the human stories behind legal traditions, customs, and cases. I also share my work through my YouTube channel, where I make legal history engaging for a wider audience.
