I read law at Edge Hill University where I was awarded prizes for outstanding academic achievements. These included: The Beryl Russell Academic Achievement Scholarship in recognition of achieving highest APM in the Faculty of Arts & Sciences, The Duncan Gibbins Solicitors Scholarship and The Edge Hill University Mooting Excellence Award. My LLM thesis entitled 'EU Solidarity: Constitutional Myth or Flawed Reality. A Study of the EU's Response to the Migration Crisis' was selected as the best postgraduate dissertation in the field of immigration and asylum by Journal of Immigration Asylum and Nationality Law. My current research projects include a critical assessment of the principle of EU Solidarity considering the EU challenged responses to the to the migration crisis; the lessons to be drawn from the ways in which a government can hollow-out constitution of its fundamental principles without a revision of the Constitution in Poland; and the principle of sincere cooperation applied to the relationship between national regulators when enforcing EU law. 

I am a Member Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

I also has extensive experience of working in legal practice. In addition, I am a qualified public service interpreter. My recently completed and submitted doctoral research examined the role of Law in fundamental polity change in a comparative perspective.
