I have been practicing family law for over 10 years. I am skilled in all areas of family law including divorce, custody, access, property division, child and spousal support and Family Responsibility Office enforcement matters.

I enjoy providing comprehensive and sometimes creative resolutions to family law matters. I also try to help families come to resolutions in a cost-effective and timely manner. I excel at helping clients deal with complex financial issues that arise as a result of a separation and help to structure settlements that enable clients to move forward with financial stability. I practice in association with Russell Alexander Collaborative Family Lawyers.

I was called to the bar in Ontario in January 2010. I graduated with a JD from the University of Windsor in 2008 after receiving a Bachelor of Arts in English from York University. During my time at the University of Windsor, I worked as a Research Assistant for Professor Myra Tawfik. The culmination of that research was published by Professor Tawfik in “An Emerging Intellectual Property Paradigm: Perspectives from Canada”. Prior to joining Russell Alexander, I practiced family law at a firm in Pickering, Ontario for five years. She previously articled at a boutique law firm in Markham, Ontario where I practiced both Wills and Estates and Family Law.

As a proud member of Collaborative Practice Durham Region, I believe that finding creative and personalized resolutions are key to allowing separating couples to divorce without stepping foot in a courtroom. I serve as a subcommittee member for Collaborative Practice Toronto where I enjoy connecting with and working with other lawyers and professionals across Ontario.

After finishing my legal education in Windsor, Ontario I moved back to Toronto with my husband. Together we have three beautiful and rambunctious children who are my greatest joy.

I believe in giving back to my community and have been volunteering with the Girl Guides of Canada for four years. I enjoy being a positive role model and mentor to young girls and helping them realize that they can be anything they want to be.

I have also wanted to help my community during the Covid-19 crisis. I am honoured to be related to many front-line workers who are risking their safety to help others. As a result, I taught myself to sew reusable masks for front-line workers. These masks go over surgical masks and help to extend the life of those surgical masks, which is especially important right now. I have recently challenged myself to begin sewing surgical caps for doctors and nurses who are desperately needed during this time. So far my creations have been donated to a team at Michael Garron Hospital.

I grew up in the Caribbean and moved to Canada when I was 11. I enjoy travelling with my husband and three children and we spend a lot of time in the Caribbean so that they can learn about their heritage. As a family, we also enjoy being out in nature and can be found hiking, swimming at the cottage, gardening, bird watching and biking in the warmer weather.
