More about Rebecca
We asked Rebecca: What can clients expect from you? I pride myself on being able to empathise with clients and tailor how I interact with them to suit their needs at any particular time. I appreciate the stresses of pursuing a legal claim and my aim is to make it as smooth sailing as possible. What do you love about your job? I am very interested in all of the medical aspects to my job. I used to want to study medicine myself but coming from a medical family, I was told that I would be better studying law (due to the lack of maths!) Knowing that I can potentially make a difference to a family’s life that have suffered unimaginable loss and/or injury is my way of helping them during a very difficult time. What are your interests outside work? I am an active volunteer with St John Ambulance (SJA) and have been since 2011. My main role is that of Emergency Ambulance Crew and volunteer my time, mostly on weekends, to assist local ambulance trusts and respond to 999 calls. I also volunteer to cover first aid provisions at both large and local community events, assist with the youth division of SJA and teach first aid to young people.
