Faith started her pupillage at Garden Court Chambers in October 2025.

Her first-six supervisor is supervisor Sam Parham, and her second six supervisor is Audrey Cherryl Mogan.

Before pupillage, Faith was a paralegal at a criminal defence firm in London where she assisted the managing partner and a senior associate. She helped to represent clients accused of a wide range of offences including drug trafficking, sexual offences, money laundering and illegal arms trafficking. She gained experience working with young and vulnerable clients, conducting conferences and prison visits, and drafting written representations.

Prior to this, she was a County Court advocate who regularly appeared before judges in courts across London in a range of matters. Faith also contributed to research into the role of communities and connections in social welfare legal advice as part of her work as a Community Researcher for the Advice Services Alliance.

Faith has extensive volunteering experience. She has attended London police stations as an independent custody visitor to check on the welfare of detainees and has taught debate at HMP Brixton. She has also volunteered on the Amicus Missouri Project and has worked as a youth advocate with BLAM.
