Tell us about the course of your career.
After training to be a barrister at The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple in London, and working in practice, I returned to academia and completed my PhD in copyright law at the University of Edinburgh in 2007. During this time, I fell in love with copyright, and have never looked back.
Following my PhD, I worked as a lecturer in law at the University of Central Lancashire (2007–2010) and then moved to Bournemouth University as a senior lecturer in law in 2011.
