“My employment history and an unexpected turn of events in my personal life was the catalyst for establishing My Legal Associates. I have spent the majority of my working life in International, Legal, Consultancy, due diligence, administrative, support and liaison roles for various corporate and government organisations around the world. Later in my career, I was employed in the diplomatic sector and found that the embassy life really helped me grow professionally and gave me a greater understanding of the expatriate life, its challenges and rewards.

​

I have always felt that it was my fundamental calling to help people. My experiences, qualifications and passions have now provided me with the opportunity to establish a business in Spain for the expat community so others can benefit from my expertise.”
