Before joining legal practice, Rachel worked in the fast-moving start-up environments of Singapore and Sydney. It gave her hands-on experience in solving problems under pressure, collaborating across disciplines, and building ideas from scratch - skills that continue to inform her work as a lawyer.
​
Applying a commercial mindset to legal matters
Her participation in numerous hackathons gave Rachel a first-hand insight into the operational challenges and decision-making processes within organisations. This understanding enables her to formulate effective, yet practical solutions when advising clients on construction, engineering and commercial disputes.
​
Communicating with confidence
Working with founders to shape and pitch business ideas helped develop Rachel’s ability to present information clearly and tailor messages to different stakeholders. Whether in arbitration or litigation, she brings the same structured thinking and convincing persuasiveness to every case she handles.

Always restless, always learning
Away from work, Rachel’s interests in non-fiction and strength training reflect her commitment to continuous personal development. She’s always improving, always pushing beyond her comfort zone and towards growth.​
