More about Michelle…
What is the most daring/scariest thing you have done?
Learning how to eat and breathe fire. A close second was learning to ride a joust with the knights of Middle England this year.
Tell us something that not many people know about you?
I have a house full of rescue animals – including a rescue cat; two street dogs from Romania and another dog that I rescued whilst on holiday in Jordan in 2019. And despite sometimes needing to use a walking stick, I have been practising Taekwon-Do for over 2 years now and became a National Champion at the ITF National Competition in October 2023.
If you weren’t a lawyer or in your current profession, what would you be doing?
If I was not a lawyer, I would be a historian specialising in the Medieval or Tudor period.

What was your first job?
My first job was as an Assistant Groundsman. I wasn’t very good at it but, later in life, it sparked my interest in gardening-I now have a very beautiful garden.
If you weren’t a lawyer or in your current profession, what would you be doing?
If I wasn’t working as an Employment Lawyer I would be researching and writing about military aviation, especially during WWII. Probably shows that I’m still an Air Cadet at heart!
