Outside the office
Prior to joining Crane & Staples, I was a fully qualified ISTD dance teacher and ran my own dance school in Hertfordshire. I enjoy travelling and spending time with friends and family.
I have two boys, so my spare time mainly involves standing at the side of a football pitch, where Crane & Staples are also the sponsors of one of my son's teams.

I deal mainly with Bonnie Twiggs who, in my experience, is a cut above by comparison with other commercial property lawyers in our area. The firm is well-resourced and competent. We recommended them to one of our largest clients which is always a risk, but Bonnie and C&S have served them well.
