Humanity

After a decade spent as a self-employed carpenter – renovating homes, building furniture, and overseeing a variety of building projects – I put down my tools for the last time in 2016.  I’d reached a point where continuing in the trade no longer felt sustainable.  The choice was clear: either join a building firm or pursue something entirely different. I chose to change direction.

With no dramatic calling, but a genuine curiosity, I began studying law through the University of London via the Institute of Law in Jersey.  It was simply the most appealing option: studying for a law degree while remaining in Jersey.
