I am the current articling student at Mann Lawyers. After spending three months last year as a summer student with the firm, I have happily returned to complete my articles.

I graduated from the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University in the Spring of 2024, with a specialization in business law. During law school, I was a member of the Law Student’s Society and co-founded the Schulich Disability Alliance (SDA), a group dedicated to making law school more accessible for all law students, particularly those with disabilities.

Throughout my studies, I had the pleasure of taking part in two study abroad programs. In the summer between my first and second year, I earned a Certificate of International Business Law from Queens University at their satellite school, Bader College, in the UK. Furthermore, I spent my last semester of law school at the University of Houston Law Center where I studied American Law, which included working with death row inmates in a Texas criminal appeals clinic.

I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Windsor, where I studied Political Science (B.A.H. with thesis and distinction). My thesis evaluated the federal government’s economic response to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Outside of the classroom, I spent my time playing for the Varsity Football team and running my own small automotive painting service business.

During my time as an articling student with Mann Lawyers, I look forward to assisting clients and colleagues in all practice areas.

When I am not working, I like to stay active. During the summer and fall months, most of my free time is spent coaching for the Ottawa Sooners Football Team (CJFL) as the Assistant Offensive Coordinator and Quarterback Coach.
