I grew up in Auckland and attended the University of Auckland, qualifying with degrees in Commerce and Honours in Law. I started out in Commercial and tax lawyer and discovered that my real interest was for people and things that mattered in their lives, especially those who haven’t always been given the best deal in life. I moved into criminal law and have never looked back.
